Translation

Front

What do amino acids come together to join?

Back

A growing polypeptide chain (protein)

Front

When the mRNA sequence leaves the nucleus, what organelle does it travel to?

Back

Ribosome

Front

What best explains the interaction between tRNA and mRNA during translation?

Back

Anticodons on the tRNA line up with complementary codons on the mRNA.

Front

Which of the following describes RNA?

Back

RNA is usually single-stranded and contains the base uracil.

Front

What is the correct sequence of information flow in cells?

Back

DNA -> RNA -> Protein

Front

What is the role of mRNA in translation?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of tRNA in translation?

Back

tRNA brings the appropriate amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What are codons?

Back

Codons are sequences of three nucleotides on mRNA that correspond to specific amino acids.

Front

What is the significance of the ribosome in translation?

Back

The ribosome is the site where mRNA is translated into a polypeptide chain.

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.
