Unit 6 Test Review

Front

What does tRNA do?

Back

tRNA brings amino acids to the ribosome.

Front

What is the function of mRNA?

Back

mRNA transfers genetic information in DNA to a ribosome.

Front

What is cell differentiation?

Back

Cell differentiation is the process by which unspecialized cells become specialized for specific functions.

Front

What process takes place between DNA and RNA?

Back

Transcription.

Front

What is the significance of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where amino acids are assembled into proteins.

Front

What is transcription?

Back

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

Front

What is translation?

Back

Translation is the process of converting mRNA into a sequence of amino acids to form a protein.

Front

What are amino acids?

Back

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

Front

What is the genetic code?

Back

The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded in mRNA is translated into proteins.
