It is the “one gene, one enzyme” hypothesis, which claims that genes act through the
RNA DNA
Helix No Yes
4. What are the three major classes of RNA? List each and their purpose.
Messenger RNA Takes a message from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm
An RNA molecule is produced based on a DNA template, which is transcribed in mRNA, tRNA,
and rRNA.
polypeptide.
Processes that dictate the flow of information from the DNA to RNA to protein in a cell.
It is the universal code that has existed for eons and allows for conversion of DNA and RNA’s
It features a triple code: each codon is made up of three nucleotides, which does not provide
It is comprised of a triplet base of uniform nucleotides that can code with any amino acid it is
b. Elongation – additional amino acids specified by the mRNA are added to the growing polypetide
c. Termination – ribosome reaches a stop codon on the mRNA that it is translating, causing release of
12. What happens to the transcript RNA before it leaves the nucleus?
It is processed and receives a cap at the 5’ end and tail at the 3’ end.
The mRNA is now ready to leave the nucleus and be translated into a protein. It utilizes
Segment of mRNA containing the protein-coding Intervening sequence found between exons in
portion of a gene that remains in the gene mRNA; removed by RNA processing before
eukaryotes. In the former, it is done pre-mRNA. In the latter, it is dine using snRNA’s.
b. Ribosomes – binding site for mRNA and three binding sites for transfer RNA molecules
b. Elongation – stage during protein synthesis when a polypeptide increases in length one amino acid at
a time
c. Termination – final step; polypeptide and the assembled components that carried out protein
Translation occurs in them, and their amino acids act as a signal peptide that indicates where
