Front

What type of bond joins nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

Hydrogen bonds are the type of bonds that join nitrogenous bases in DNA.

Front

What is the RNA sequence for the amino acid chain: LYSINE - GLYCINE - STOP?

Back

The RNA sequence is AAA - GGG - UAA.

Front

Which enzyme is responsible for unzipping DNA during replication?

Back

The enzyme that unzips the DNA is helicase.

Front

What amino acid is represented by the RNA codon UUA?

Back

The amino acid made from the RNA codon UUA is Leucine.

Front

What is the function of mRNA?

Back

mRNA carries information from DNA to ribosomes.

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

The four nitrogenous bases in DNA are Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G).

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transfers amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine, while RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid.
