What is the sequence of the anticodon on tRNA if the template DNA has the sequence AGA?

Back

AGA

Front

What type of RNA carries the genetic code for protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA)

Front

If the coding strand of DNA has the sequence AGTCAGA, what is the sequence of the transcribed RNA?

Back

AGUCAGA

Front

What are the coding sections of DNA that are expressed as proteins called?

Back

Exons

Front

What is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA called?

Back

Translation

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA) brings amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is the function of mRNA in the cell?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between exons and introns?

Back

Exons are coding regions of DNA that are expressed, while introns are non-coding regions that are spliced out during RNA processing.

Front

What is the process of copying DNA into RNA called?

Back

Transcription

Front

What enzyme is responsible for synthesizing RNA during transcription?

Back

RNA polymerase
