Protien Synthesis Flashcard R

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

Transcription is the process where DNA is used as a template to synthesize mRNA.

Front

What is the role of transfer RNA (tRNA) in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA is responsible for bringing amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is the first stage of protein synthesis?

Back

The first stage of protein synthesis is called transcription.

Front

What is the complementary tRNA anticodon for the mRNA codon UUU?

Back

The complementary tRNA anticodon for UUU is AAA.

Front

What is the complementary tRNA anticodon for the mRNA codon CCG?

Back

The complementary tRNA anticodon for CCG is GGC.

Front

What is the complementary tRNA anticodon for the mRNA codon AAA?

Back

The complementary tRNA anticodon for AAA is UUU.

Front

What happens during translation?

Back

During translation, the mRNA is decoded to build a polypeptide chain (protein) with the help of tRNA.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the synthesis of mRNA from DNA, while translation is the synthesis of proteins from mRNA.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, facilitating the assembly of amino acids into proteins.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that specifies a particular amino acid.
