Plants 3 - Protein Synthesis

Front

What is the product of transcription?

Back

mRNA

Front

What is the product of translation?

Back

proteins

Front

Why must transcription occur where DNA can be found?

Back

because DNA can't leave

Front

Genetic info flows in one direction. Which best represents this flow?

Back

DNA-RNA-protein

Front

What organelle is the site of translation?

Back

Ribosome

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 the function of tRNA?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins from amino acids.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

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

Front

What enzyme is responsible for transcription?

Back

RNA polymerase.
