DNA Replication, Transcription, and Translation

Front

What are nucleotides made up of?

Back

Nucleotides are made up of a sugar, phosphate, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What is the role of DNA in relation to proteins and cells?

Back

DNA makes RNA which produces protein in the cell.

Front

Where does transcription occur in a cell?

Back

Transcription takes place in the nucleus.

Front

Which nitrogenous base is not found in RNA?

Back

Thymine is not found in RNA.

Front

In DNA replication, which base pairs with Adenine (A)?

Back

Thymine (T) pairs with Adenine (A).

Front

What is the function of RNA?

Back

RNA serves as a messenger carrying instructions from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins.

Front

What are the three main types of RNA?

Back

The three main types of RNA are messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA).

Front

What is the process of copying DNA called?

Back

The process of copying DNA is called DNA replication.

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 difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

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