DNA and Protein Synthesis

Front

What is the main function of tRNA?

Back

The main function of tRNA is to bring amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosomes.

Front

What process involves the synthesis of proteins from mRNA?

Back

Translation.

Front

Where in the cell is protein made?

Back

Protein is made in the ribosome.

Front

How many amino acids are coded for by the nucleotide sequence ATG GGA ACT CCA?

Back

4 amino acids.

Front

Where does transcription occur in the cell?

Back

Transcription occurs in the nucleus.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where proteins are synthesized by translating mRNA.

Front

What is the process of copying DNA into RNA called?

Back

Transcription.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids.

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 difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of making RNA from DNA, while translation is the process of making proteins from mRNA.
