Protein Synthesis II Crossword Puzzle

QUESTIONS LIST:

• ribose: rna contains this sugar.
• uracil: rna has this nitrogenous base, rather than thymine, which is in dna.
• aug: this initiator codon in mrna signals protein synthesis to begin.
• terminator: these codons in mrna signals protein synthesis to stop.
• trna: this nucleic acid has a clover-leaf shape and carries a specific amino acid to a ribosome, which becomes a part of the forming peptide.
• anticodon: this triplet base code is found on the opposite end of a trna molecule from the amino acid.
• rrna: this nucleic acid is a major component of ribosomes and is made in the nucleolus.
• transcription: in this process, the genetic code is transferred from dna genes to messenger rna.
• translation: in this process, the mrna copy of the dna blueprint is used as a guide to make a protein.
• dehydration: peptide bonds are made between amino acids through this type of synthesis reaction on a ribosome.
• digested protein: this is the source of free-floating amino acids in a cell.
• cytoplasm: after a transfer rna molecule has released its amino acid at a ribosome, it goes here to find another of the same amino acid.
• cuu cua uag: this is the mrna code for this sequence of dna: gaa gat atc.
