Quarter 2 Review Biology Honors

Front

What type of ribonucleic acid is responsible for delivering amino acids during protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA)

Front

During which process does mRNA occur?

Back

Transcription

Front

What term denotes the physical expression of a gene?

Back

Phenotype

Front

What is a long chain of amino acids called?

Back

Protein

Front

Which base does Guanine bond with?

Back

Cytosine

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between genotype and phenotype?

Back

Genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism, while phenotype refers to the physical expression of that genetic makeup.

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 function of ribosomes in the cell?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis where mRNA is translated into amino acid sequences.

Front

What is the process of copying DNA into RNA called?

Back

Transcription.
