Grade 7 Test DNA, RNA and Protein Synthesis

Front

What is the process called when DNA makes an exact copy of itself?

Back

Replication

Front

Where are codons found in the cell?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA)

Front

Which type of nucleic acid can leave the nucleus?

Back

RNA (Ribonucleic Acid)

Front

What is the structure that carries genetic information in cells?

Back

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid)

Front

What type of bond connects amino acids in a protein?

Back

Peptide bonds

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the central dogma of molecular biology?

Back

DNA -> RNA -> Protein

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids

Front

What is transcription in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

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