Genetic Code Of mRNA

    Cards (173)

    • Translation occurs on ribosomes, which consist of two subunits - small and large.
    • There are three types of stop codons (UAA, UAG, UGA) that signal the end of translation.
    • The genetic code is degenerate, meaning that more than one codon can specify the same amino acid.
    • The small subunit binds to the mRNA molecule, while the large subunit is responsible for peptide bond formation between amino acids.
    • Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are adaptors that bring specific amino acids to the ribosome during translation.
    • Each tRNA has an anticodon sequence complementary to one codon on the mRNA.
    • The genetic code is degenerate, meaning there can be multiple codons for one amino acid.
    • Codon reading frame refers to the positioning of nucleotides within a gene sequence.
    • Protein synthesis involves transcription and translation processes.
    • Amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds to form polypeptides or proteins.
    • Amino acids are encoded by triplets called codons.
    • Aminoacyl-tRNAs carry specific amino acids and have anticodons complementary to their corresponding codons.
    • Transcription produces an RNA copy of DNA called messenger RNA (mRNA).
    • Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases attach the correct amino acid to the appropriate tRNA based on their anticodon sequences.
    • Each tRNA has an anticodon that matches with its corresponding codon on the mRNA strand.
    • Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases attach the correct amino acid to its corresponding tRNA.
    • Each tRNA has an anticodon sequence complementary to its corresponding codon on the mRNA.
    • Transfer RNA (tRNA) carries amino acids from the cytoplasm into the ribosome during protein synthesis.
    • During translation, the ribosome reads the mRNA sequence and matches it with the appropriate tRNA carrying the corresponding amino acid.
    • During translation, the ribosome reads the mRNA sequence and matches it with the appropriate tRNA carrying the corresponding amino acid.
    • Translation is the process where ribosomes read the genetic code on mRNA and assemble amino acids into a protein.
    • Some organisms use non-standard codons for certain amino acids.
    • Translation occurs on ribosomes with two subunits (small and large) that bind tRNA molecules carrying amino acids.
    • Peptidyl transferase catalyzes the formation of a peptide bond between two adjacent amino acids.
    • Some organisms use non-standard codons for certain amino acids.
    • Translation occurs on ribosomes with two subunits (small and large) that bind tRNA molecules carrying amino acids.
    • Peptidyl transferase catalyzes the formation of a peptide bond between two adjacent amino acids.
    • Different organisms have slightly different versions of the genetic code due to mutations that occurred during evolution.
    • During elongation, the ribosome moves along the mRNA strand, adding amino acids to form a polypeptide chain.
    • Translation occurs at ribosomes where transfer RNA (tRNA) brings amino acids to form polypeptide chains.
    • Translation occurs when the ribosome reads the mRNA codons and matches them with the appropriate tRNAs carrying their respective amino acids.
    • During elongation, the ribosome moves along the mRNA strand, adding amino acids to form a polypeptide chain.
    • There are 20 different types of amino acids used in protein synthesis.
    • Translation occurs at ribosomes where transfer RNA (tRNA) brings amino acids to form polypeptide chains.
    • Translation occurs when the ribosome reads the mRNA codons and matches them with the appropriate tRNAs carrying their respective amino acids.
    • The ribosome reads the sequence of codons on the mRNA, bringing in the matching tRNAs carrying the corresponding amino acids.
    • Initiation phase of translation includes binding of mRNA to small subunit of ribosome, formation of initiation complex with initiator methionine-carrying tRNA, and scanning of mRNA until start codon AUG is found.
    • The ribosome reads the sequence of codons on the mRNA, bringing in the matching tRNAs carrying the corresponding amino acids.
