Front

Where is DNA found in a cell?

Back

DNA is found in the nucleus.

Front

What is the shape of a DNA molecule?

Back

The shape of a DNA molecule is a double helix.

Front

Which nitrogen base does Adenine bond with?

Back

Adenine bonds with Thymine.

Front

What is the process called in which DNA copies itself before a cell divides?

Back

The process is called replication.

Front

What does a sequence of three nitrogen bases in DNA make up?

Back

A sequence of three nitrogen bases in DNA makes up a codon.

Front

What are the building blocks of DNA?

Back

The building blocks of DNA are nucleotides.

Front

What are the four nitrogen bases found in DNA?

Back

The four nitrogen bases found in DNA are Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine.

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 transcription in the context of DNA?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where proteins are synthesized by translating mRNA.
