Front

What is the process of creating mRNA from a DNA strand called?

Back

Transcription

Front

What does DNA replication result in?

Back

Two DNA molecules, each with one original strand and one new strand.

Front

What are the rungs of the DNA ladder made up of?

Back

A pair of nitrogen bases.

Front

What molecule brings amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA)

Front

What is the role of mRNA during protein synthesis?

Back

It delivers DNA's instructions for making proteins to the ribosome.

Front

What is DNA?

Back

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is the molecule that carries the genetic instructions for life.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

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

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids.

Front

What is the role of RNA polymerase in transcription?

Back

RNA polymerase is the enzyme that synthesizes mRNA from the DNA template.
