Unit 6 - DNA, RNA, & Protein Synthesis Flashcardizz Review Game

Front

What is the complementary RNA code for the DNA sequence ATGC?

Back

UACG

Front

What process involves rewriting the genetic code from DNA to RNA?

Back

Transcription

Front

What is the role of the enzyme helicase in DNA replication?

Back

It "unzips" the DNA molecule into two separate strands.

Front

Transcribe the DNA sequence TACGTTACT into RNA.

Back

AUGCAAUGA

Front

Where does transcription occur in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

Back

Cytoplasm in prokaryotes; Nucleus in eukaryotes.

Front

What is the function of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for 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

Define translation in the context of protein synthesis.

Back

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

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine; RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil.
