Central Dogma

Front

What does the central dogma state about the flow of genetic information?

Back

Genetic information flows from DNA to mRNA to Protein.

Front

How many strands does DNA have compared to RNA?

Back

DNA has a double strand; RNA has a single strand.

Front

What is the correct sequence of processes in the central dogma?

Back

Replication, Transcription, Translation.

Front

Where are anti codons found?

Back

Anti codons are found in tRNA.

Front

In RNA, which nitrogen base replaces thymine found in DNA?

Back

Uracil (U) replaces Thymine (T) in RNA.

Front

What is transcription in the context of the central dogma?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into mRNA.

Front

What is translation in the context of the central dogma?

Back

Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the coded mRNA message.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
