Biology EOC Review 1

Front

What is the base pairing rule in DNA?

Back

Adenine pairs with Thymine, and Cytosine pairs with Guanine.

Front

What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome for protein assembly.

Front

What are the subunits of DNA?

Back

Nucleotides, which consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What is a transgenic organism?

Back

An organism that has been genetically modified to contain DNA from another species.

Front

What is the role of the capsid in a virus?

Back

The capsid is the protein shell that encases and protects the viral genetic material.

Front

What is the primary function of mRNA?

Back

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

Front

What are the four main types of macromolecules in biology?

Back

Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains Thymine, while RNA is single-stranded and contains Uracil.

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in the cell?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis, where mRNA is translated into proteins.
