FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What type of RNA carries the DNA message out of the nucleus to the ribosomes?
Back
mRNA
Answer explanation
mRNA, or messenger RNA, is the type of RNA that carries the genetic information from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes, where proteins are synthesized. This makes mRNA the correct answer.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What do we call the process of turning DNA into mRNA?
Back
Transcription
Answer explanation
The process of turning DNA into mRNA is called transcription. During transcription, the DNA sequence is copied into a complementary RNA sequence, which is essential for protein synthesis.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
When DNA is transcribed to RNA, what does A pair with?
Back
U
Answer explanation
During transcription, adenine (A) in DNA pairs with uracil (U) in RNA, replacing thymine (T) found in DNA. Therefore, the correct pairing is A pairs with U.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
When translating mRNA to amino acids, which codon do you ALWAYS begin with?
Back
AUG
Answer explanation
The translation of mRNA to amino acids always begins with the start codon AUG, which codes for methionine. This codon signals the ribosome to start protein synthesis.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How many amino acids are coded for by this sequence of nucleotides: ATGGGAACTCCA
Back
4
Answer explanation
The nucleotide sequence ATGGGAACTCCA translates to amino acids in groups of three (codons). This sequence has 12 nucleotides, forming 4 codons (ATG, GGA, ACT, CCA), thus coding for 4 amino acids.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What process does this picture show?
Back
Translation
Answer explanation
The picture illustrates the process of translation, where ribosomes synthesize proteins by decoding mRNA sequences into amino acids, distinguishing it from transcription, replication, and cloning.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the job of tRNA?
Back
Carry amino acids to ribosomes
Answer explanation
tRNA's primary role is to carry amino acids to ribosomes, where proteins are synthesized. It acts as a bridge between the genetic code and the amino acid sequence, ensuring the correct amino acids are added during translation.
