Protein Synthesis and Mutations

A point mutation in which a codon that specifies an amino acid is mutated into a codon that specifies a different amino acid

• point mutation

• frameshift mutation

• missense mutation

• silent mutation

gene mutation in which a single base pair in DNA has been changed

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

type of RNA that associates with proteins to form ribosomes

• messenger RNA

• transfer RNA

• ribosomal RNA

Nitrogen base that pairs with adenine in RNA.

• thymine

• adenine

• uracil

The DNA strand that provides the template for ordering the sequence of nucleotides in an mRNA transcript.

• complimentary strand

• RNA

• amino acids

• template strand

process in which mRNA is synthesized from the template DNA. DNA is re-written into mRNA.

• transcription

• translation

• amino acids

• ribose sugar

monomers of proteins, coded for by the mRNA during transcription

• transcription

• translation

• amino acids

• ribose sugar

three-base code in DNA or mRNA

• mutation

• anti-codon

• codon
