Protein Synthesis (Flashcardizz)

Front

Where does the mRNA travel to once it leaves the nucleus?

Back

mRNA travels to a ribosome.

Front

What do you call the sections of mRNA (3 bases)?

Back

These sections are called Codons.

Front

What does tRNA bring to the ribosome?

Back

tRNA brings amino acids to the ribosome.

Front

What type of sugar is found in RNA?

Back

The sugar found in RNA is Ribose.

Front

What does the 'm' in mRNA stand for?

Back

The 'm' in mRNA stands for messenger.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transfers specific amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What is a ribosome?

Back

A ribosome is a cellular structure where protein synthesis occurs.

Front

What are amino acids?

Back

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

Front

What is transcription in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

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