DNA Rep/Transcription/Translation Review

Front

What are the 3 types of RNA?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA), rRNA (ribosomal RNA)

Front

What are the complementary base pairing rules for RNA?

Back

G = C and U = A

Front

Front

TRUE or FALSE: Anticodons are read on the codon chart to find amino acids?

Back

FALSE

Front

What are the 3 parts of a nucleotide?

Back

Sugar, Phosphate, and Nitrogenous Base

Front

What is the function of mRNA?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of tRNA in translation?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the coded mRNA message.

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

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

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid.

Front

What is the significance of the start codon?

Back

The start codon (AUG) signals the beginning of translation and codes for the amino acid methionine.
