Front

Where does transcription take place?

Back

Transcription takes place in the nucleus.

Front

What structure contains the anticodon?

Back

The anticodon is found on tRNA (transfer RNA).

Front

In transcription, which base pairs with adenine (A)?

Back

In transcription, adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U).

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the function of tRNA?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is transcription?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.

Front

What is translation?

Back

Translation is the process of converting mRNA into a sequence of amino acids to form a protein.
