The process to go from DNA to mRNA is _______

Back

transcription

Front

What process is going on in this photo? (Transcription, Translation, Replication, All the above)

Back

Transcription

Front

What is the function of the structure labeled 4? (delivers amino acids to the ribosome, attaches amino acids together to build proteins, represents an elongating chain of amino acids, a set of instructions the ribosome uses to build proteins)

Back

Front

The process that goes from mRNA to a protein is called ____

Back

translation

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, assembling amino acids into proteins based on mRNA instructions.

Front

What is mRNA?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA) is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

Define transcription.

Back

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

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

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