DNA, RNA, and Protein Synthesis

Front

What base does Guanine bond with in DNA?

Back

Cytosine

Front

How is the genetic code read?

Back

3 bases at a time in the same direction.

Front

What are the correct complementary base pairs in DNA?

Back

Adenine pairs with Thymine (A-T) and Guanine pairs with Cytosine (G-C).

Front

Which type of RNA carries genetic information from the nucleus?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA)

Front

What bases are found in RNA?

Back

Adenine, Guanine, Uracil, and 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 function of rRNA?

Back

rRNA (ribosomal RNA) forms the core of the ribosome's structure and catalyzes protein synthesis.

Front

What is transcription in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is translation in protein synthesis?

Back

Translation is the process where ribosomes synthesize proteins using mRNA as a template.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that specifies an amino acid.
