Living Systems: Unit 3 LC1 Review

Front

What is the mRNA molecule transcribed from the DNA template TGGCAA?

Back

ACCGUU

Front

In DNA, which base does Adenine bond with?

Back

Thymine

Front

How is mRNA synthesized?

Back

It 'reads' the code (base sequences) in the DNA and forms a molecule of complementary bases.

Front

What is the structure of a DNA molecule?

Back

Double helix.

Front

Which bases are found in DNA?

Back

Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine.

Front

What is the primary function of mRNA?

Back

To carry genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA contains deoxyribose sugar, while RNA contains ribose sugar.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes read mRNA sequences and assemble amino acids into proteins.

Front

What is transcription in the context of genetics?

Back

The process of copying a segment of DNA into mRNA.

Front

What is translation in the context of genetics?

Back

The process of decoding mRNA to synthesize proteins.
