DNA Replication and Protein Synthesis

Front

What do the letters A, T, C, G, or U represent in nucleotides?

Back

Nitrogen bases.

Front

What structure does tRNA represent?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA) is responsible for bringing amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What type of bond is formed between amino acids?

Back

Peptide bonds.

Front

What is the result of the translation of the sequence AUGCUAGCUUGA?

Back

Met-Leu-Ala-Stop.

Front

What determines the protein that will be produced in DNA?

Back

The sequence of nucleotides.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where proteins are synthesized by translating mRNA.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

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

Front

What is transcription in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

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