Transcription

Front

Where does transcription take place?

Back

Transcription takes place in the nucleus of the cell.

Front

What part of a nucleotide accounts for the genetic variation between individuals?

Back

The nitrogenous base of a nucleotide accounts for genetic variation.

Front

What is the process by which the genetic code of DNA is copied into a strand of RNA?

Back

The process is called transcription.

Front

What is the correct order to make a protein?

Back

The correct order is DNA, RNA, Protein.

Front

How would the DNA sequence GCTATA be transcribed to mRNA?

Back

The mRNA sequence would be CGAUAU.

Front

What is a nucleotide?

Back

A nucleotide is the basic building block of DNA and RNA, consisting of a phosphate group, a sugar, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

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

Back

The three types of RNA are messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA).

Front

What role does mRNA play in transcription?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of RNA polymerase in transcription?

Back

RNA polymerase is the enzyme that synthesizes RNA from the DNA template during transcription.

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.
