Transcription

Front

Which molecule brings amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA)

Front

What type of molecule is produced that is complementary to the template strand of DNA?

Back

Messenger RNA (mRNA)

Front

What is the process used to copy DNA in the nucleus?

Back

Replication

Front

When does DNA replication occur?

Back

Before Mitosis begins

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 proteins are synthesized by translating mRNA.

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 is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA is a double helix made up of nucleotides, which include a sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogenous base.

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G).
