DNA to Protein

Front

What is the correct sequence of amino acids for the mRNA sequence AUG UAC AGU UAG?

Back

Met, Tyr, Ser, Stop

Front

What do the pentagon-shaped parts of a DNA strand represent?

Back

Deoxyribose

Front

What are the subunits that DNA and RNA are built with?

Back

Nucleotides

Front

What is the flow of information when a gene directs the synthesis of a protein?

Back

DNA → mRNA → tRNA → protein

Front

What are proteins made of?

Back

Linked amino acids

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the mRNA sequence.

Front

What are the four nitrogen bases found in DNA?

Back

Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G).

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains deoxyribose; RNA is single-stranded and contains ribose.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid.
