DNA, RNA, Protein

Front

What part of a nucleotide accounts for the genetic variation between individuals?

Back

Nitrogenous base

Front

What process is responsible for synthesizing proteins from RNA?

Back

Translation

Front

What are the possible genotypes for tall eyeballs if tall (T) is dominant to short (t)?

Back

TT and Tt

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 ribosomes in the cell?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites of 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 a mutation?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the genetic code?

Back

The genetic code determines how sequences of nucleotides are translated into amino acids.
