Arginine (Arg).

Front

Which mRNA sequence does the DNA sequence TTT-CGC-AGA produce?

AAA-GCG-UCU.

Front

How many nucleotides code for 1 amino acid?

What enzyme in the nucleus helps mRNA form?

Back

RNA polymerase.

Front

What is the role of DNA in protein synthesis?

Back

DNA contains the genetic instructions for the synthesis of proteins.

Front

What is mRNA and its function?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

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

Front

What is translation in protein synthesis?

Back

Translation is the process where ribosomes synthesize proteins using the mRNA sequence.

Front

What are codons?

Back

Codons are sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that specify a particular amino acid.
