Translation

Front

What are codons?

Back

Codons are sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that correspond to specific amino acids during protein synthesis.

Front

What is the role of tRNA in translation?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA) molecules match the mRNA codons with their corresponding amino acids using their anti-codons.

Front

What is produced during the process of translation?

Back

Translation produces proteins, which are essential for various cellular functions.

Front

Which sequence represents RNA?

Back

AUGCUU is a sequence that can be found in RNA.

Front

What is translation?

Back

Translation is the process by which ribosomes synthesize proteins using the information encoded in mRNA.

Front

What is an anti-codon?

Back

An anti-codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in tRNA that is complementary to a codon in mRNA.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in translation?

Back

Ribosomes are the cellular machinery that facilitate the translation of mRNA into proteins.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the start codon?

Back

The start codon (AUG) signals the beginning of translation and codes for the amino acid methionine.
