TRNA MRNA TRANSLATION AND TRaNSCRIPTION

Front

What is the process of using a DNA template to create an mRNA copy?

Back

Transcription

Front

Where does translation occur in the cell?

Back

On the ribosome

Front

What enzyme binds to a gene (DNA) and separates the strands during transcription?

Back

RNA polymerase

Front

If a strand of DNA reads 'TAC ACG CGC', what is the complementary mRNA sequence?

Back

AUG UGC GCG

Front

What is the process of reading a strand of mRNA to produce a protein called?

Back

Translation

Front

What is mRNA?

Back

Messenger RNA, a type of RNA that carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is tRNA?

Back

Transfer RNA, a type of RNA that brings amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

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

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that corresponds to a specific amino acid.
