Front

What is the location in the cell for translation?

Back

Ribosome

Front

What is the three base sequence of mRNA that codes for a single amino acid?

Back

Codon

Front

What is the process of copying DNA into mRNA called?

Back

Transcription

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is the sequence of amino acids in a protein determined by?

Back

The sequence of codons in mRNA.

Front

What is the start codon for protein synthesis?

Back

AUG (Methionine)

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 mutation?

Back

A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can affect protein synthesis.

Front

What is the role of RNA polymerase in transcription?

Back

RNA polymerase synthesizes mRNA from the DNA template.
