IB Biology: D1.2 Protein synthesis

Front

Copying mRNA from DNA

Back

is done through complementary base pairing

Front

Transcription is required for

Back

the expression of genes

Front

The ending of transcription

Back

mRNA detaches from the template and DNA rewinds

Front

What happens to RNA polymerase at the end of transcription

Back

detaches from the DNA

Front

Location of protein synthesis in the cell

Back

ribosomes

Front

Transcription

Back

synthesis of an RNA molecule from a DNA template

Front

RNA polymerase

Back

Enzyme similar to DNA polymerase that binds to DNA and separates the DNA strands during transcription

Front

Site for RNA polymerase to bind

Back

Promoter on the DNA

Front

Indicates the end of transcription

Back

terminator sequence on DNA

Front

Translation

Back

Process by which mRNA is decoded and a protein is produced
