25. Codon Chart - Practice

Front

What is translation in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

Translation is the process that produces polypeptide chains from mRNA.

Front

What is the mRNA sequence produced from the DNA sequence GAC CAA TAT GTA?

Back

CUG GUU AUA CAU.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides that codes for an amino acid.

Front

How many amino acids are produced from the DNA sequence ATCAGTGAT after transcription and translation?

Back

3 amino acids.

Front

Where does translation occur in the cell?

Back

Translation occurs in the ribosome.

Front

What is the correct order of protein synthesis?

Back

Transcription -> Translation -> Protein.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for translation.

Front

What is the function of tRNA in translation?

Back

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

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

Front

What is the significance of the start codon?

Back

The start codon (AUG) signals the beginning of translation.
