Protein Synthesis

Front

What is the main function of tRNA?

Back

The main function of tRNA is to bring amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosomes.

Front

What is the product of transcription?

Back

The product of transcription is an mRNA molecule.

Front

What is the process to go from DNA to mRNA?

Back

The process to go from DNA to mRNA is called transcription.

Front

What is the purpose of the DNA strand during transcription?

Back

The purpose of the DNA strand is to serve as a template for the synthesis of mRNA.

Front

What process is responsible for synthesizing proteins from mRNA?

Back

The process responsible for synthesizing proteins from mRNA is called translation.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, facilitating the assembly of amino acids into proteins.

Front

Define transcription in the context of protein synthesis.

Back

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

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What are amino acids?

Back

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, linked together by peptide bonds.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of creating mRNA from DNA, while translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.
