Translation

Front

Where in the cell does translation take place?

Back

Ribosome

Front

What is the correct sequence of molecular biology processes?

Back

DNA --> RNA --> Protein

Front

What are the two main steps of protein synthesis?

Back

Transcription and Translation

Front

What is the function of tRNA in translation?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

Using the codon AUG, what is the corresponding amino acid?

Back

Methionine (MET)

Front

What does the codon UAA signify in protein synthesis?

Back

It is a stop codon that terminates translation.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in translation?

Back

Ribosomes facilitate the decoding of mRNA into a polypeptide chain.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from DNA, while translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from RNA.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that corresponds to a specific amino acid.

Front

What is the significance of the start codon AUG?

Back

It signals the beginning of translation and codes for Methionine.
