Protein Synthesis DOL

Front

What is the process of converting mRNA into a protein called?

Back

Translation

Front

What is the role of Messenger RNA (mRNA) in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA travels out of the nucleus to ribosomes and serves as a template for assembling proteins.

Front

What molecule brings amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA) brings amino acids to the ribosome.

Front

What is the process called when DNA is used to create Messenger RNA?

Back

Transcription

Front

What is the structure that assembles proteins using mRNA as a template?

Back

Ribosome

Front

What is the function of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in protein synthesis?

Back

rRNA is a component of ribosomes and helps facilitate the translation of mRNA into proteins.

Front

What happens during the process of transcription?

Back

Double-stranded DNA is unzipped, and one strand is used as a template to form Messenger RNA.

Front

Which process is responsible for the synthesis of proteins?

Back

Translation is responsible for synthesizing proteins from mRNA.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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