Protein Synthesis Practice

Front

What is the process of protein synthesis that occurs in the cytoplasm?

Back

Translation

Front

What molecule carries the genetic code from the nucleus to the ribosomes?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA)

Front

What is the main function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

To bring amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosomes.

Front

What is the original DNA strand for the mRNA sequence CUC-AAG-UGC-UUC?

Back

GAG-TTC-ACG-AAG

Front

Where does translation occur in the cell?

Back

Cytoplasm

Front

What is the process of copying DNA into RNA called?

Back

Transcription

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins from amino acids.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids

Front

What is the difference between mRNA and tRNA?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic code from DNA, while tRNA brings amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is the significance of the genetic code?

Back

The genetic code determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein.
