DNA Transcription and Translation

Front

What is the main difference between RNA and DNA?

Back

RNA contains uracil and ribose, while DNA contains thymine and deoxyribose.

Front

What is the process of synthesizing mRNA from DNA called?

Back

Transcription.

Front

Which type of RNA carries the genetic message from DNA to the ribosome?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA).

Front

Translate the RNA sequence AUGCAAUGA.

Back

Met-Glu-Stop.

Front

What is the primary function of tRNA?

Back

To bring amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosomes.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids.

Front

What is the role of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in protein synthesis?

Back

It forms a part of the ribosome and helps in the assembly of amino acids into proteins.

Front

What is the significance of the start codon AUG in mRNA?

Back

It signals the beginning of translation and codes for the amino acid Methionine.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that corresponds to a specific amino acid.

Front

What is the function of the promoter region in DNA?

Back

It is a sequence that signals the start of transcription.
