Which process is used to make mRNA from the DNA in the nucleus?

Back

Transcription

Front

Where does translation happen?

Back

Ribosome

Front

What are Anti-Codons?

Back

A set of bases on tRNA that are complementary to codons on mRNA.

Front

Which nucleic acids contain the bases guanine, cytosine, and adenine?

Back

Both DNA and RNA.

Front

What is the role of RNA polymerase in transcription?

Back

It synthesizes RNA from a DNA template.

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 is a codon?

Back

A sequence of three nucleotides on mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid.

Front

What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is the significance of the ribosome in protein synthesis?

Back

The ribosome is the site where translation occurs, assembling amino acids into proteins.
