What is meant by the term coupled transcription/translation?
What is meant by the term coupled transcription/translation? Translation begins before
transcription has been completed This only occurs in prokaryotes
since they do not contain a nucleus In eukaryotes, transcription is
completed in the nucleus before translation can take place in the cytoplasm
What type of RNA contains codons?
What type of RNA contain codons?
Codons are found in messenger RNA
They are 3 base sequences that either start translation, code for an amino acid, or stop translation
What type of RNA contain anticodons?
What type of RNA contain anticodons?
tRNA Anticodons
complementary base pair to codons
