  2. Messenger RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messenger_RNA

    In molecular biology, messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a single-stranded molecule of RNA that corresponds to the genetic sequence of a gene, ...

  3. Directionality (molecular biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directionality_(molecular...

    The 5′-untranslated region (5′-UTR) is a region of a gene which is transcribed into mRNA, and is located at the 5′-end of the mRNA. This region of an mRNA may or may not be translated, but is usually involved in the regulation of translation. The 5′-untranslated region is the portion of the DNA starting from the cap site and extending ...

    A diagram of how mRNA is used to create polypeptide chains Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is the catalytic component of the ribosomes. The rRNA is the component of the ribosome that hosts translation.

    Five prime cap - mRNA Processing five prime untranslated region - region of a messenger RNA coding region - portion of a gene's DNA or RNA, composed of exons, that codes for protein; composed of codons, which are decoded, translated into proteins by the ribosome; begins with the start codon and end with a stop codon

  7. DNA and RNA codon tables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_and_RNA_codon_tables

    [1] [2] The standard genetic code is traditionally represented as an RNA codon table, because when proteins are made in a cell by ribosomes, it is messenger RNA (mRNA) that directs protein synthesis. [2] [3] The mRNA sequence is determined by the sequence of genomic DNA. [4] In this context, the standard genetic code is referred to as ...

  8. Transfer RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_RNA

    Each mRNA codon is recognized by a particular type of tRNA, which docks to it along a three-nucleotide anticodon, and together they form three complementary base pairs. On the other end of the tRNA is a covalent attachment to the amino acid corresponding to the anticodon sequence, with each type of tRNA attaching to a specific amino acid.

  9. Gene structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_structure

    Gene structure is the organisation of specialised sequence elements within a gene.Genes contain most of the information necessary for living cells to survive and reproduce. [1] [2] In most organisms, genes are made of DNA, where the particular DNA sequence determines the function of the gene.
