Replication and Protein Synthesis

Front

What enzyme unzips DNA by breaking hydrogen bonds?

Back

DNA Helicase

Front

What type of RNA carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA)

Front

Does the sequence of amino acids in a protein affect its function?

Back

Yes, the order of amino acids determines the protein's structure and function.

Front

What is the result of DNA replication?

Back

Two DNA molecules, each containing one original and one new strand.

Front

What is the complementary mRNA sequence for the DNA strand GTAGTCA?

Back

CAUCAGU

Front

What is the role of DNA Polymerase in DNA replication?

Back

DNA Polymerase synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides complementary to the template strand.

Front

What is the function of RNA in protein synthesis?

Back

RNA serves as a template for protein synthesis, carrying genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.

Front

What is the difference between mRNA and tRNA?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome, while tRNA (transfer RNA) brings amino acids to the ribosome.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where mRNA is translated into protein.

Front

What is transcription in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

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