Protein Synthesis Test 12/13

Front

What is the process of transcribing DNA into RNA called?

Back

Transcription.

Front

What is the complementary RNA sequence for the DNA sequence AUG CGC TCT?

Back

UAC GCG AGA.

Front

What type of bonds hold the two strands of DNA together?

Back

Hydrogen bonds between bases.

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA brings amino acids to the ribosome to assemble a protein.

Front

What is a mutation where a base is removed from the DNA sequence called?

Back

Deletion mutation.

Front

How many bases are needed to code for one amino acid?

Back

Three bases.

Front

What is the function of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.

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 the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where proteins are assembled from amino acids.

Front

What is a substitution mutation?

Back

A mutation where one base is replaced by another base.
