Unit 3: RE-TEST REVIEW ACTIVITY

Front

What molecule is created during TRANSLATION?

Back

Protein

Front

Why are insertion and deletion mutations so harmful?

Back

They change all of the codons from the mutation on down the line, which changes the amino acid sequence.

Front

What process is happening when proteins are synthesized from mRNA?

Back

Translation

Front

What does the anti-codon contain?

Back

A sequence complementary to the codon.

Front

Where does transcription take place in a cell?

Back

Nucleus.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for translation.

Front

What is the function of tRNA?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides on mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying DNA to mRNA, while translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.

Front

What is a mutation?

Back

A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can lead to changes in protein synthesis.
