DNA and Protein Synthesis Test Review

Front

What are the monomers of DNA and RNA?

Back

Nucleotides.

Front

What is the role of tRNA during translation?

Back

tRNA brings the amino acids to the ribosome.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides that codes for an amino acid.

Front

What is the complementary DNA strand for the sequence GGACTA?

Back

CCTGAT.

Front

Which of the following is not an RNA codon: CAT, CUA, GCA, UAG?

Back

CAT.

Front

What amino acid does the codon GAG code for?

Back

Glutamate.

Front

What is the process of copying DNA called?

Back

DNA replication.

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 are the three main types of RNA involved in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA), and rRNA (ribosomal RNA).

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains deoxyribose sugar, while RNA is single-stranded and contains ribose sugar.
