DNA and Protein Synthesis Test Review

Front

What are the building blocks of DNA and RNA?

Back

Nucleotides are the monomers of DNA and RNA.

Front

Which amino acid corresponds with the codon GUA?

Back

Valine is the amino acid that corresponds with GUA.

Front

Who used X-ray diffraction to study the structure of DNA?

Back

Rosalind Franklin used X-ray diffraction to obtain information about the structure of DNA.

Front

Is DNA single-stranded and RNA double-stranded?

Back

False. DNA is double-stranded, while RNA is single-stranded.

Front

What are the monomers of proteins?

Back

Amino acids are the monomers of proteins.

Front

What is the role of DNA in cells?

Back

DNA stores genetic information and provides instructions for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the process of protein synthesis?

Back

Protein synthesis involves transcription (DNA to mRNA) and translation (mRNA to protein).

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA.

Front

What is the complementary base pairing rule in DNA?

Back

Adenine pairs with Thymine, and Cytosine pairs with Guanine.

Front

What is mRNA and its function?

Back

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