FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the role of the ribosome in protein synthesis?

Back

The ribosome is the cellular structure where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins by linking amino acids together based on the sequence of mRNA.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is transcription?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA, specifically mRNA, which carries the genetic information to the ribosome.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is translation?

Back

Translation is the process where the ribosome reads the mRNA sequence and assembles amino acids into a polypeptide chain, forming a protein.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Where does transcription occur in eukaryotic cells?

Back

Transcription occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Where does translation occur in the cell?

Back

Translation occurs in the cytoplasm, specifically on ribosomes.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is mRNA?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA) is a type of RNA that carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.
