Front

What is the process of transferring the codons to the amino acids called?

Back

Translation

Front

What codon signals the end of protein synthesis?

Back

Stop codon

Front

If a DNA molecule contains 44% for A and T combined, how much G will be present?

Back

28% G

Front

In RNA transcription, which base pairs with Adenine (A)?

Back

Uracil (U)

Front

What direction does DNA polymerase move during DNA replication?

Back

5' to 3' direction

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for translation.

Front

What is the primary function of tRNA?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying DNA to RNA; translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from 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 role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, facilitating the assembly of amino acids into proteins.
