What is the role of the sequence of nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

The sequence of nitrogenous bases in DNA provides the instructions for the traits of an organism.

Front

What is familial Alzheimer’s disease (FAD)?

Back

FAD is a type of early-onset Alzheimer’s disease that is inherited and results from a genetic change in one or more chromosomes.

Front

What is the product of transcription in the process of gene expression?

Back

The product of transcription is mRNA (messenger RNA).

Front

What process is represented when double-stranded DNA unwinds into two strands?

Back

The process is transcription, and the product is mRNA.

Front

What significant structure of DNA was revealed by Rosalind Franklin's x-ray photograph?

Back

The double-helix structure of DNA.

Front

Define transcription in the context of gene expression.

Back

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA, specifically mRNA.

Front

What is the function of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

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

Front

What are nitrogenous bases?

Back

Nitrogenous bases are the building blocks of DNA and RNA, consisting of adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and uracil (U in RNA).

Front

What is the significance of the sugar-phosphate backbone in DNA?

Back

The sugar-phosphate backbone provides structural support and stability to the DNA molecule.
