Protein Synthesis

Front

What are the Base Pairing Rules for Transcription?

Back

A pairs with U, C pairs with G.

Front

What is Synthesis in the context of biology?

Back

The assembling of new molecules, especially polymers.

Front

What is Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)?

Back

Most of a ribosome is made of rRNA.

Front

What does the Central Dogma of molecular biology state?

Back

DNA makes RNA, RNA makes proteins, and proteins make life.

Front

What is Transcription?

Back

The process where double-stranded DNA is unzipped, and one strand is used as a template to form Messenger RNA.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of tRNA?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

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 the process of Translation?

Back

The process where ribosomes synthesize proteins using the information carried by mRNA.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

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