Front

What is the process called that converts mRNA into a protein?

Back

Translation

Front

What are the building blocks of nucleic acids?

Back

A sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

Double helix.

Front

What is the process of converting DNA into mRNA called?

Back

Transcription.

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 ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins from amino acids.

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.

Front

What is transcription?

Back

The process of copying a segment of DNA into mRNA.

Front

What is the role of tRNA in translation?

Back

tRNA brings the appropriate amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.
