What is the role of Transfer RNA (tRNA) in protein synthesis?

Back

Transfer RNA (tRNA) is responsible for bringing individual amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

Which molecule contains codons?

Back

Messenger RNA (mRNA) contains codons, which are sequences of three nucleotides that correspond to specific amino acids.

Front

What base is present in RNA but not in DNA?

Back

Uracil is a base that is present in RNA but not in DNA; DNA contains thymine instead.

Front

What does the sequence AUGCCU represent?

Back

The sequence AUGCCU is a section of RNA.

Front

What is the amino acid sequence for the codons TAC-TAG-GCC-ATT?

Back

The amino acid sequence is Met-Ile-Arg-stop.

Front

What is the function of Messenger RNA (mRNA)?

Back

Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that specifies a particular amino acid.

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 role of Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) forms the core of the ribosome's structure and catalyzes the assembly of amino acids into protein chains.

Front

What is the start codon and its significance?

Back

The start codon is AUG, which signals the beginning of protein synthesis and codes for the amino acid methionine.
