Protein Synthesis CFA Review

Front

What are the three components of a nucleotide?

Back

Phosphate group, 5-carbon sugar, and nitrogenous base.

Front

What makes DNA and RNA similar?

Back

They are both made up of nucleotides.

Front

In DNA, which nitrogen base pairs with Guanine?

Back

Cytosine.

Front

What role does a gene play in protein synthesis?

Back

It carries the code for protein development.

Front

True or False: Stem cells contain the same DNA as pancreatic cells.

Back

True.

Front

What is the function of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.

Front

What are the two main types of nucleic acids?

Back

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (Ribonucleic acid).

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins from mRNA.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains deoxyribose sugar, while RNA is single-stranded and contains ribose sugar.
