What part of DNA is different between individuals?

Back

Order of nitrogen bases

Front

What are the building blocks of DNA?

Back

Nucleotides, which consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What is the role of DNA polymerase?

Back

DNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides to a growing chain during DNA replication.

Front

What is the function of RNA in protein synthesis?

Back

RNA serves as a template for translating genetic information from DNA into proteins.

Front

What are the three types of RNA and their functions?

Back

1. mRNA (messenger RNA) - carries genetic information from DNA to ribosomes. 2. tRNA (transfer RNA) - brings amino acids to ribosomes during protein synthesis. 3. rRNA (ribosomal RNA) - makes up the ribosome and helps in protein synthesis.

Front

What is a mutation?

Back

A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can lead to changes in protein structure and function.
