Protein Synthesis DOL

Front

What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA) transports amino acids to the ribosome for synthesis into proteins.

Front

What is the process called that converts mRNA into a protein?

Back

Translation.

Front

During which process does mRNA occur?

Back

Transcription.

Front

Where does transcription take place in the cell?

Back

In the nucleus.

Front

What enzyme synthesizes mRNA from DNA?

Back

RNA Polymerase.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the ribosome's role in protein synthesis?

Back

The ribosome is the site where translation occurs, assembling amino acids into proteins.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

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

Front

What are the three types of RNA involved in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA), and rRNA (ribosomal RNA).

Front

What is the role of RNA Polymerase in transcription?

Back

RNA Polymerase binds to DNA and synthesizes mRNA by adding complementary RNA nucleotides.
