What are the 4 nitrogenous bases of DNA?

Back

Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine

Front

What is a mutation?

Front

What is the function of DNA?

Back

To store and transmit genetic information.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where proteins are synthesized from amino acids.

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

The process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.

Front

What is the role of mRNA?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is essential for growth, development, and repair in organisms.
