DNA Replication and Protein Synthesis

Front

What is the process called when DNA is copied?

Back

Replication

Front

How is the genetic code read?

Back

3 bases at a time in the same direction.

Front

In RNA, which nitrogen base replaces thymine found in DNA?

Back

Uracil (U) replaces Thymine (T).

Front

What is the amino acid sequence for the mRNA strand AUG-CAG-UAC-AGC?

Back

Met-Gln-Tyr-Ser

Front

From which molecules are mRNA molecules transcribed?

Back

DNA

Front

What is the role of DNA in cells?

Back

DNA stores genetic information and provides instructions for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine, while RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil.

Front

What is transcription in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is translation in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

Translation is the process where ribosomes synthesize proteins using the mRNA sequence.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
