Biology Final Review Flashcard

Front

What structure of this molecule binds with the mRNA molecule?

Back

Anticodon

Front

Where does transcription take place?

Back

Nucleus

Front

What type of bonds hold structures 3 and 4 together?

Back

Strong hydrogen bonds.

Front

RNA contains which sugar?

Back

Ribose

Front

What is the role of codon in protein synthesis?

Back

Codons are sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that specify which amino acid will be added next during protein synthesis.

Front

What is the function of tRNA?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA) carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA contains deoxyribose sugar and is double-stranded, while RNA contains ribose sugar and is single-stranded.

Front

What is a peptide bond?

Back

A peptide bond is a covalent bond that links amino acids together in a protein.

Front

What is the role of the ribosome in protein synthesis?

Back

The ribosome is the site where mRNA is translated into a polypeptide chain.

Front

What is transcription?

Back

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