Protein Synthesis

Front

What is the monomer of DNA?

Back

Nucleotides are the monomers that join together to form a strand of DNA.

Front

Why must transcription occur in the nucleus?

Back

Transcription must occur in the nucleus because DNA cannot leave the nucleus.

Front

Where is the anticodon located on a tRNA molecule?

Back

The anticodon is located at the bottom of the tRNA molecule.

Front

Translate the RNA sequence AUGCAAUGA.

Back

The translation of the RNA sequence AUGCAAUGA is Met-Glu-Stop.

Front

Where does transcription occur in a cell?

Back

Transcription occurs in the nucleus.

Front

What are the two main stages of protein synthesis?

Back

The two main stages of protein synthesis are transcription and translation.

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 function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins from amino acids.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

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

Front

What is a codon?

Back

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