Nucleic Acid

Front

What is the process called when mRNA is synthesized from a DNA template?

Back

Transcription

Front

What kind of sugar is found in DNA?

Back

Deoxyribose

Front

Which base does Guanine bond with in DNA?

Back

Cytosine

Front

What is the function of transcription?

Back

To make a copy of mRNA that can take the instructions of DNA to the ribosome.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, linking amino acids together to form proteins.

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 the process called where the DNA sequence is copied into mRNA?

Back

Transcription

Front

What is the role of messenger RNA (mRNA)?

Back

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