DNA, Replication, Transcription, and Translation

Front

What connects the two strands of a DNA molecule?

Back

Hydrogen bonds between the bases of one strand and the bases of another strand.

Front

Which base pair cannot form?

Back

Adenine DNA nucleotide with a Thymine RNA nucleotide.

Front

Is it true that the leading strand is produced continuously while the lagging strand is produced discontinuously?

Back

True.

Front

Do Okazaki fragments elongate towards or away from the replication fork?

Back

Away from the replication fork.

Front

What are the steps of protein synthesis?

Back

Replication, transcription, translation.

Front

What is the role of DNA in cells?

Back

DNA stores genetic information and provides instructions for protein synthesis.

Front

What is transcription in the context of DNA?

Back

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

Front

What is translation in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

Translation is the process of decoding mRNA to synthesize proteins.

Front

What are Okazaki fragments?

Back

Short sequences of DNA synthesized discontinuously on the lagging strand during DNA replication.

Front

What is the function of RNA polymerase?

Back

RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA from a DNA template during transcription.
