What is the role of Uracil in RNA?

Back

Uracil replaces Thymine in RNA and pairs with Adenine.

Front

How does the sequence of amino acids affect traits?

Back

The expression of a trait is directly dependent on the sequence of amino acids in the protein synthesized.

Front

Where is the anti-codon located?

Back

The anti-codon is found on tRNA.

Front

What is the location in the cell where transcription occurs?

Back

Transcription occurs in the nucleus.

Front

What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA brings in the correct amino acid to the ribosome and contains the anti-codon.

Front

What are the main steps of protein synthesis?

Back

The main steps of protein synthesis are transcription and translation.

Front

What is transcription?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.

Front

What is translation in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

Translation is the process where ribosomes synthesize proteins using the mRNA template.

Front

What is the significance of the ribosome in protein synthesis?

Back

The ribosome is the site where translation occurs and proteins are synthesized.

Front

What is the difference between mRNA and tRNA?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, while tRNA brings the appropriate amino acids to the ribosome.
