Dna Transcription and Translation

Front

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

Back

Transcription

Front

What is the correct sequence of information flow in protein synthesis?

Back

DNA -> RNA -> Protein

Front

What are the bases found in mRNA?

Back

A, U, C, G

Front

How many bases are in one codon?

Back

3

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 function of ribosomes in translation?

Back

Ribosomes facilitate the decoding of mRNA into a polypeptide chain (protein).

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

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

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 role of tRNA in translation?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the codons in mRNA.

Front

What is the start codon for protein synthesis?

Back

AUG (which codes for Methionine).
