DNA, RNA and Protein Synthesis Review vers A

Front

What are codons?

Back

Codons are sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that correspond to specific amino acids during protein synthesis.

Front

What units are joined together to form a strand of DNA?

Back

Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA, consisting of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

Which nitrogen base does Guanine bond with?

Back

Guanine bonds with Cytosine in DNA and RNA.

Front

What determines the information of a DNA molecule?

Back

The order (sequence) of the nitrogen bases determines the genetic code of a DNA molecule.

Front

What is the process of assembling amino acids into proteins called?

Back

The process is called Translation, which occurs at the ribosome.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized.

Front

What are the four nitrogen bases found in DNA?

Back

The four nitrogen bases in DNA are Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine.

Front

What is the complementary base pair for Adenine in DNA?

Back

Thymine is the complementary base pair for Adenine.

Front

What is transcription in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the cellular structures where translation occurs, assembling amino acids into proteins.
