DNA replication-Transcription-Translation and Mutation

Front

What is the process called where an RNA copy of a DNA strand is made in the nucleus?

Back

Transcription

Front

What type of DNA replication ensures that each new DNA molecule contains one original and one new strand?

Back

Semiconservative

Front

What is the primary function of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

Provides information from DNA to ribosomes

Front

What is the process called in which DNA makes an exact copy of itself?

Back

DNA Replication

Front

What type of gene mutation occurs when one or more nucleotides are added to a DNA sequence?

Back

Insertion

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in the process of translation?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of making RNA from DNA, while translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.

Front

What is a mutation?

Back

A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can lead to changes in protein structure and function.

Front

What is the significance of the genetic code?

Back

The genetic code is a set of rules that determines how the sequence of nucleotides in DNA is translated into amino acids in proteins.

Front

What is a substitution mutation?

Back

A substitution mutation is a type of mutation where one nucleotide is replaced by another in the DNA sequence.
