I. 3’ to 5’ |
direction template strand is read in |
||
O. 5’ to 3’ |
direction mRNA is synthesized in |
||
E. Coding strand |
non-template DNA strand that corresponds to mRNA codons except DNA code |
||
C. Non-coding strand |
template DNA strand that corresponds to tRNA except in DNA code |
||
B. RNA polymerase |
enzyme responsible for catalyzing transcription |
||
M. Promoter sequence |
transcription initiation site in DNA |
||
J. Transcription factor |
proteins which aid in the binding of RNA polymerase |
||
G. 5’ cap and poly-A tail |
type of pre-mRNA modification |
||
K. Exon |
non-coding sequence in mRNA |
||
D. Introns |
protein coding sequence in mRNA |
||
N. Ribosomes |
primary cellular component responsible for translation |
||
F. Release factor |
protein which binds to A site in ribosome to end translation |
||
A. Nonsense |
type of mutation that results in a premature stop codon |
||
H. Missense |
type of mutation that results in a different amino acid |
||
L. base pair substitution |
silent, nonsense, and missense mutations are all this type of mutation |
