What is the role of DNA in protein synthesis?

Back

DNA controls the production of protein in the cell.

Front

What is the main structural difference between RNA and DNA?

Back

RNA is single stranded and DNA is double stranded.

What are proteins made of?

Back

Proteins are made of amino acids.

Front

What is a nucleotide?

Back

A nucleotide is the basic building block of nucleic acids, consisting of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What is the process of protein synthesis called?

Back

The process of protein synthesis is called translation.

Front

What does mRNA do in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized.

Front

What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What are the nitrogenous bases found in DNA?

Back

The nitrogenous bases in DNA are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).

Front

What are the nitrogenous bases found in RNA?
