Protein Synthesis DOL

Front

What phase of the cell cycle does DNA replication take place?

Back

S phase

Front

Where does translation occur in the cell?

Back

Cytoplasm

Front

What is the function of tRNA?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What process is responsible for synthesizing proteins from mRNA?

Back

Translation

Front

What is the role of messenger RNA (mRNA) in transcription?

Back

mRNA carries DNA's information to the ribosomes to make proteins.

Front

What is the primary 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 stores genetic information, while RNA is single-stranded and helps in protein synthesis.

Front

What is the role of RNA polymerase in transcription?

Back

RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA from a DNA template during transcription.

Front

What are the three types of RNA involved in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA), and rRNA (ribosomal RNA).

Front

What is the significance of the start codon in translation?

Back

The start codon (AUG) signals the beginning of protein synthesis.
