DNA, RNA, and Protein Synthesis

Front

What happens during translation?

Back

The cell uses a messenger RNA code to make proteins.

Front

Which pair of bases would be found in DNA?

Back

G-C (Guanine-Cytosine).

Front

Who first suggested that DNA is a double helix?

Back

Watson and Crick.

Front

Which type of RNA brings the information in the genetic code from the nucleus to other parts of the cell?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA).

Front

What bases are found in RNA?

Back

Adenine, Guanine, Uracil, Cytosine.

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA) brings amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA is a double helix composed of two strands of nucleotides.

Front

What is the function of RNA polymerase?

Back

RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA from a DNA template during transcription.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine, while RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

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