What is the order of the nucleotide bases in DNA or RNA called?

Back

Base Sequence

Front

What type of RNA transports amino acids to the ribosome for protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA)

Front

What is the process of assembling new molecules, especially polymers, called?

Back

Synthesis

Front

What is the process called when double-stranded DNA is unzipped to form Messenger RNA?

Back

Transcription

Front

What type of RNA makes up most of a ribosome?

Back

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the cellular structures where protein synthesis occurs, translating mRNA into polypeptide chains.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA in terms of structure?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains deoxyribose sugar, while RNA is single-stranded and contains ribose sugar.

Front

What is the significance of the genetic code in protein synthesis?

Back

The genetic code determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein, which is essential for its structure and function.

Front

What is the role of amino acids in protein synthesis?

Back

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, linked together in a specific sequence to form polypeptides.
