science test tRNA mRNA & rRNA
Define replication
process of making a copy of the genetic info
define translation
process of converting the genetic info into proteins
define transcription
process of creating an RNA copy from DNA
three forms of RNA, names and functions
messanger mRNA carries gen info from DNA to ribosomes for protein synthesis
transfer tRNA, helps translate gen info by bringing amino acids to ribs
ribosomal rRNA, structural component of the ribs and aids in protein synthesis in ribs, binds mRNA and tRNA to ribs
what are codons, anticodons
codons; three nucleotides in mRNA that encode for specific amino acids during protein synthesis
anticodons; three nucleotides in tRNA that complement and bind to codons during PS
What is RNA polymerase
enzyme that helps in making RNA by copying the info from DNA
what are introns and exons
introns; non-coding sequences of DNA that are transcribed into RNA but later removed during RNA processing. nitrogen bases not invovled w protein making
exons; sequence of nitrogen bonds that r included in protein making
