There are three types of RNA listed below. Name each one and tell its function in
transcription/translation (protein synthesis)
21. mRNA(transcription & translation) takes info from DNA out of nucleus to be decoded
22. rRNA(translation) makes up ribosome that decode mRNA using tRNA to make proteins
23. tRNA(translation) brings amino acids to the ribosome, anticodon matches with codon on mRNA, peptide bond forms
26. Where in the cell does transcription take place?
nucleus
There are three steps in translation, the second step of protein synthesis.
Draw/describe each below the number.
27.28.29.
30. Where in the cell does translation take place?
Cytoplasm using ribosomes(could also say ER)
Here is a DNA strand: T A C G T C A T A C G C A T A
31. The matching DNA strand is:A T G C A G T A T G C G T A T
32. The matching RNA strand is: A U G C A G U A U G C G U A U
33. The amino acids would be:
(use ½ sheet provided)met - glu - tyr - ala - tyr
Here is a list of point mutations. Describe each:
34. Substitution: one letter put in in place of another
35. Insertion: new letter put in, (new letter added)
36. Deletion: one letter left out
Here is a list of chromosomal mutations. Describe each:
37. Deletion: one or more genes left out
38. Duplication: extra copies ofone or more genes
39. Inversion: gene put in backwards, or order switched
40. Translocation:one or more genes moved for one chromosome to another
41. Nondisjunction: homologs don’t separate correctly during anaphase I
