🎯#7 Final/Keystone Flashcardizz Review: Molecular Genetics

Front

What determines the order of amino acids in a protein?

Back

RNA codons determine the order of amino acids in a protein.

Front

What happens to the protein when a DNA sequence mutates?

Back

A mutation in the DNA sequence can result in a different sequence of amino acids in the resulting protein.

Front

What is the process of making an mRNA strand from a DNA template called?

Back

Transcription is the process of making an mRNA strand from a DNA template.

Front

What is the entire collection of genes in humans called?

Back

The entire collection of genes in humans is called the human genome.

Front

What signals the end of the translation process?

Back

The process of translation stops when the ribosome reaches a Stop Codon.

Front

What is the role of RNA codons in protein synthesis?

Back

RNA codons specify which amino acids will be added during protein synthesis.

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.

Front

What is a mutation?

Back

A mutation is a change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA that can affect protein synthesis.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in cells?

Back

Ribosomes are the cellular structures where protein synthesis occurs.

Front

What is the significance of the human genome project?

Back

The Human Genome Project aimed to map all the genes in the human genome, providing insights into genetics and disease.
