Front

What is the three base sequence of mRNA that codes for a single amino acid called?

Back

Codon

Front

Does the sequence of amino acids in a protein affect its function?

Back

Yes, the order of amino acids is crucial for protein function.

Front

Which nucleic acid contains the bases adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine?

Back

RNA

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the codons in mRNA.

Front

What is a ribosome?

Back

A ribosome is a cellular structure where protein synthesis occurs.

Front

What is the process of translating mRNA into a protein called?

Back

Translation

Front

What is the role of DNA in protein synthesis?

Back

DNA contains the genetic instructions for synthesizing proteins.
