Translation and transcription

• The mRNA molecule is then transported out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm.
• In eukaryotic cells, RNA polymerase III transcribes genes that encode transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and small ribosomal subunits.
• Transfer RNA (tRNA): A type of RNA molecule that carries amino acids to the site of protein synthesis during translation.
• In eukaryotic cells, RNA polymerase II transcribes protein-coding genes while RNA polymerases III and I transcribe non-protein coding genes such as transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs).
• Transcription factors are proteins that bind to specific DNA sequences near promoter regions and regulate gene expression by either activating or repressing transcription.
• Epigenetic modifications can also affect gene expression without changing the DNA sequence itself.
• Small ribosomal subunit: One of two subunits that make up the structure of a ribosome, involved in translating genetic information from messenger RNA (mRNA).
• Transcription factors are proteins that bind to specific DNA sequences and regulate gene expression by either activating or repressing transcription.
• Small ribosomal subunit: One of two subunits that make up the structure of a ribosome.
• Epigenetic modifications can also affect gene expression without altering the DNA sequence itself.
• Ribosomes are composed of both rRNA and proteins.
• Epigenetic modifications can also affect gene expression without changing the underlying DNA sequence.
• During transcription initiation, RNA polymerase recognizes and binds to the promoter region on the DNA template strand.
• rRNA makes up about 60% of the mass of a ribosome.
• Histone modification involves adding chemical groups like methyl or acetyl groups to histones, which can change their charge and influence how tightly they pack around DNA.
• Initiation involves the binding of RNA polymerase to the promoter region on the DNA template strand.
• Elongation occurs when RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template strand, adding complementary bases to the growing RNA chain.
• DNA methylation occurs when a methyl group is added to cytosine bases in CG dinucleotides, often resulting in silencing of nearby genes.
• During transcription initiation, RNA polymerase recognizes and binds to promoter regions on the DNA template strand.
• Histone modification is an epigenetic process where chemical groups are added or removed from histones, which affects their interactions with DNA and influences gene expression.
• Translation is the process where mRNA molecules are used as templates to synthesize polypeptides using amino acids.
• Translation is the process whereby the genetic code carried by mRNA is used to direct the assembly of amino acids into polypeptide chains.
• The small ribosomal subunit is responsible for binding mRNA during translation.
• Translation is the process where mRNA molecules carry out instructions encoded within them to synthesize proteins using amino acids.
• During transcription initiation, RNA polymerase recognizes and binds to the TATA box, a short DNA sequence located approximately 25 base pairs upstream of the start codon.
• The small ribosomal subunit is one of two subunits that make up the structure of a ribosome, which plays an important role in translating genetic information from mRNA into proteins.
• The TATA box serves as a binding site for transcription factors, which recruit other proteins necessary for initiating transcription.
• During transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase synthesizes an RNA copy of a segment of DNA called a gene.
• The small ribosomal subunit plays an important role in translation by binding to the mRNA molecule at the start codon AUG and initiating the formation of a peptide bond between the first two amino acids.
• The small ribosomal subunit plays an important role in translation by binding to the mRNA at the start codon AUG and initiating protein synthesis.
• During translation, tRNA molecules bring individual amino acids to the ribosomes, where they are assembled into a growing peptide chain according to the instructions provided by the mRNA.
• The large ribosomal subunit contains most of the active sites where protein synthesis occurs.
• During translation, tRNA molecules bring individual amino acids to the ribosome based on their anticodons, which match with complementary codons on the mRNA strand.
• Protein synthesis involves three main stages: initiation, elongation, and termination.
• In eukaryotic cells, transcription takes place in the nucleus while translation occurs in the cytoplasm or endoplasmic reticulum.
• In eukaryotes, transcription takes place in the nucleus while translation occurs in the cytoplasm or endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
• Transcription is the process by which DNA is copied into RNA.
• In prokaryotes, transcription and translation occur simultaneously on the same strand of DNA.
• Transcription is the process by which DNA makes a complementary copy of itself using RNA nucleotides.
• The small ribosomal subunit has a smaller size compared to the large ribosomal subunit but still plays a crucial role in the translation process.
