Protein Synthesis

Front

What is the main function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

The main function of tRNA is to bring amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosomes.

Front

In DNA, which base pairs with Adenine?

Back

Thymine.

Front

What is the role of messenger RNA (mRNA) in protein synthesis?

Back

Messenger RNA carries a copy of the DNA code.

Front

Describe the structure of DNA.

Back

DNA has a double helix structure.

Front

What is the amino acid sequence for the mRNA code AUGCCAGUAUGA?

Back

Met-Pro-Val.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids.

Front

What is the process of converting mRNA into a protein called?

Back

Translation.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where protein synthesis occurs, facilitating the translation of mRNA into amino acids.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine, while RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil instead of thymine.

Front

What is the significance of the start codon in mRNA?

Back

The start codon (AUG) signals the beginning of translation and codes for the amino acid Methionine.
