DNA, RNA & Protein Synthesis-Academic

Front

What type of bond joins nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

Hydrogen bonds.

Front

What process forms mRNA?

Back

Transcription.

Front

What is the process called when RNA makes proteins?

Back

Translation.

Front

Where do chromosomes originate from?

Back

Parents.

Front

How many amino acids are coded by a series of three nitrogen bases?

Back

1 amino acid.

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of RNA in protein synthesis?

Back

RNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

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 a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nitrogen bases in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins by reading mRNA.
