RNA Polymerase will keep transcribing until it gets signals to stop. What is the process of ending transcription called?
The process where a cell reads information from a molecule called a messenger RNA (mRNA) and uses this information to build a protein.
The main transcription enzyme, and enzyme that links ribs-nucleotides into a growing RNA chain during transcription.
The process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a are molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA) .
tRNAs bind to mRNAs inside of a protein-and-RNA in this structure
Transcription begins when RNA polymerase binds to a(n) _____________ sequence near the beginning of a gene (directly or through helper proteins).
Each tRNA has a(n) __________, a set of three nucleotides that binds to a matching mRNA codon through base pairing. the other end of the tRNA carries the amino acid that's specified by the codon.
A three-nucleotide sequence of DNA or mRNA that specifies a particular amino acid or termination signal; the basic unit of genetic code.
A sequence within a primary transcript that remains in the RNA after RNA processing; also refers to the region of DNA from which this sequence was transcribed.
In translation, this nucleotide sequence specifies the amino acid sequence.
Translation involves "decoding" a messenger RNA (mRNA) and using its information to build a(n) ________________ or chain of amino acids.
a nitrogen base that occurs only in RNA and does not occur in DNA. it takes the place of thymine.
Amino acids are held together by ____________________ to create proteins.
Proteins along with _________________ make up the structure where transcription occurs.
The building blocks or monomers of polypeptides/proteins.
