Protein Synthesis

Front

What is the process by which proteins are synthesized in cells?

Back

Protein Synthesis.

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 tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino Acids.

Front

How many different amino acids are there?

Back

There are 20 different amino acids.

Front

What is the complementary base pair for adenine in RNA?

Back

Uracil.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where protein synthesis occurs, translating mRNA into a polypeptide chain.

Front

What is a gene?

Back

A gene is a sequence of nucleotides that contains the information to make a specific protein.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

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

Front

What is transcription in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

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