Protein Synthesis

Front

What is the result of transcription?

Back

The synthesis of RNA from DNA.

Front

What is the main function of tRNA?

Back

To bring amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosomes.

Front

What are anticodons complementary to?

Back

Codons.

Front

What is translation?

Back

The process where mRNA is decoded to form a protein.

Front

What models the central dogma of molecular biology?

Back

DNA to RNA to protein.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes for protein synthesis.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A sequence of three nucleotides on mRNA that corresponds to a specific amino acid.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins from amino acids.

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 the process of transcription?

Back

The process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.
