Transcription and Translation

Front

What is the process of synthesizing mRNA from a DNA template called?

Back

Transcription

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the complementary mRNA sequence for the DNA sequence ATC-CGT-CCC?

Back

UAG-GCA-GGG

Front

Where does transcription occur in eukaryotic cells?

Back

In the nucleus.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in translation?

Back

Ribosomes facilitate the assembly of amino acids into proteins based on the sequence of mRNA.

Front

What is the START codon and its significance in translation?

Back

The START codon is AUG, and it signals the beginning of protein synthesis.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids.

Front

Where is DNA located within a eukaryotic cell?

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

Back

Translation.

Front

What are codons and their role in protein synthesis?

Back

Codons are sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that specify a particular amino acid.
