Unit 5: Central Dogma of Genetics

Front

What is the complementary base pair for adenine (A) in DNA?

Back

Thymine (T)

Front

During translation, what is the role of tRNA?

Back

It brings amino acids to the ribosome to build proteins.

Front

Which sequence of DNA bases would pair with this partial strand ATG TGA CAG?

Back

TAC ACT GTC

Front

What type of mutation causes a premature stop codon to appear in the amino acid sequence?

Back

Nonsense Mutation

Front

Which of the following is a process where DNA is used to synthesize RNA?

Back

Transcription

Front

What is the central dogma of molecular biology?

Back

The process by which DNA is transcribed to RNA, which is then translated to protein.

Front

What is transcription in genetics?

Back

The process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.

Front

What is translation in genetics?

Back

The process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA at the ribosome.

Front

What are the four bases of DNA?

Back

Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G).

Front

What is a mutation?

Back

A change in the DNA sequence that can lead to changes in protein structure and function.
