|---|
| 4 | Their are 20 amino acids, but only ___ nucleotide bases in DNA |
| hydrogen | What type of bond does the anticodon have with the complementary codon? ____ bond |
| triplet code | The flow of information from gene to protein is based on a ___ ___; a series of nonoverlapping 3 nucleotide words |
| template | During transcription, one of the two DNA strands called the ____ strand provides a template for ordering the sequence of nucleotides in an RNA transcript |
| codon | During translation, the mRNA base triplets, called ____'s are read in the 5' to 3' direction |
| yes | Is this correct? "DNA template strand, Transcription, mRNA, Translation, Protien" |
| stop | Of the 64 triplets, 61 code for amino acids, 3 triplets are ___ signals to end translation |
| redundant | The genetic code is ___ but not ambiguous, no codon specifies more than one amino acid |
| frame | Codons must read in the correct reading ____ in order for the specified polypeptide to be produced |
| stop | UAA means stop or start? |
| stop | UAG means stop or start? |
| stop | UGA means stop or start? |

| prokaryote | During translation ____ (eurakyote or prokaryote) mRNA binds to nearby ribosomes in cytoplasm |
| eukaryote | During translation ____ (eukaryote or prokaryote) mRNA comes out of nucleus thru nuclear membrane and binds to ribosomes in cytoplasm or on ER |
| tRNA | A cell translates an mRNA message into protein with the help of ___ |
| anticodon | Every tRNA has an ____, this base-pairs with a complementary codon on mRNA |
| hydrogen | Because of ____ bonds, tRNA actually twists and folds into a 3-dimensional molecule |
| true | True or False: Accurate translation: 1) A correct match between a tRNA and an amino acid, done by the enzyme aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase and 2) A correctmatch between the tRNA anticodon and an mRNA codon |
| wobble | Flexible paring at the 3rd base of a codon is called ____ and allows some tRNA's to bind to more than one codon |
