DNA, RNA & Protein Synthesis

Front

Where is mRNA made?

Back

In the nucleus.

Front

Does DNA ever leave the nucleus?

Back

No, DNA never leaves the nucleus.

Front

What are the correct complementary base pairs for DNA?

Back

Adenine pairs with Thymine (A-T) and Guanine pairs with Cytosine (G-C).

Front

Label the parts of a nucleotide: A, B, C.

Back

A: Phosphate, B: Sugar, C: Base.

Front

Which nitrogen base is not found in RNA?

Back

Thymine.

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 primary function of DNA?

Back

To store and transmit genetic information.

Front

What are the three main types of RNA involved in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA), and rRNA (ribosomal RNA).

Front

What is transcription in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is translation in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

Translation is the process of decoding mRNA to synthesize proteins.
