Central Dogma Flashcard

Front

Where does transcription take place?

Back

Transcription takes place in the nucleus.

Front

What is the correct sequence of processes in the central dogma?

Back

The correct sequence is replication, transcription, translation.

Front

What is the mRNA molecule transcribed from the DNA template TGGCAA?

Back

The mRNA molecule is ACCGUU.

Front

How is the DNA sequence ACAGTGC coded on mRNA?

Back

The mRNA sequence is UGUCACG.

Front

What is the role of tRNA during protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome.

Front

Define transcription in the context of the central dogma.

Back

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

Front

What is translation in the central dogma?

Back

Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.

Front

What is the function of mRNA?

Back

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

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

The building blocks of proteins are amino acids.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs and proteins are synthesized.
