DNA Structure and Protein Synthesis

Front

What is the product of transcription?

Back

mRNA molecule

Front

Which nucleotide is complementary to adenine on a DNA strand?

Back

thymine

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA is a double helix composed of two strands of nucleotides.

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 are the four nucleotide bases in DNA?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of tRNA?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What is the process of translation?

Back

Translation is the process where ribosomes synthesize proteins using mRNA as a template.

Front

What is the significance of the start codon?

Back

The start codon (AUG) signals the beginning of protein synthesis.

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 DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine, while RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil.
