ADVANCED PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
UTMB 5355 EXAM 1 QUESTIONS
AND VERIFIED ANSWERS
,1. Transcription: |synthesis |of |RNA |from |DNA
2. Transcription |results |in:|mRNA
3. RNA |polymerase |makes: |mRNA
4. mRNA: |makes |proteins
5. RNA |polymerase: |binds |to |DNA
6. Transcription |factors |(TFs): |A |regulatory |protein |that |binds |to |DNA |and |affectstranscription |of
specific genes. Can wither activate or repress expression of genes
| | | | | | | | | |
7. Termination |of |transcription: |RNA |polymerase |reaches |a |terminator |sequence(Stop |codon) |and
detaches from the template
| | | |
8. Translation:|Process |by |which |mRNA |is |decoded |and |a |protein |is |produced.Protein |assembly
9. Translation |takes |place |in |the: |cytoplasm
10. Codon:|A |specific |sequence |of |three |bases |on |a |strand |of |DNA |or |RNA |thatprovides |genetic
code information for a amino acid
| | | | | |
11. Amino |acids |are: |building |blocks |of |proteins
12. tRNA: |An |RNA |molecule |that |functions |as |an |interpreter |between |nucleic |acidand |protein
language by picking up specific amino acids and recognizing the appropriate codons in the mRNA
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
13. Codons |allow: |for |DNA |and |RNA |to |communicate
14. Gene |Regulation: |the |process |of |turning |genes |on |and |off
15. Gene |Regulation |occurs: |during |transcription
16. Transcription |factors |(TFs) |determine: |amount |of |protein |product |made
17. Nucleotide: |DNA |subunit; |1 |DNA, |1 |phosphate, |1 |nitrogenous |base
2 |/ |14
, 18. Mutation:|permanent |change |in |a |DNA |/RNA |sequence |that |affects |geneticinformation
3 |/ |14
