Front

A DNA nucleotide may be made up of a phosphate group, along with

Back

deoxyribose sugar and thymine

Front

What is the purpose for anti-codons?

Back

to ensure the correct amino acid is dropped off

Front

In what process is mRNA synthesized?

Back

Transcription

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 ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What are codons?

Back

Codons are sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that specify a particular amino acid.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of synthesizing mRNA from DNA, while translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports specific amino acids to the ribosome during translation.
