Unit 7 - DNA/RNA & Protein Synthesis Test Review

Front

What is the complementary DNA strand sequence for GGTGACT?

Back

CCACTGA

Front

What property of molecular genetics explains the success of gene transfer technology for insulin production?

Back

The bases used in the genetic code (DNA) are identical in all organisms, but the difference is the order/sequence of bases.

Front

Which type of RNA carries the instructions from DNA?

Back

mRNA only

Front

How do DNA replication processes differ between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

Back

Eukaryotes use multiple replication forks to replicate a larger volume (amount) of DNA.

Front

What is the first step of protein synthesis?

Back

Transcription where mRNA is made from a DNA template.

Front

What is the second step of protein synthesis?

Back

Translation where the codons on mRNA are translated into amino acids.

Front

Define DNA replication.

Back

The process of making a copy of DNA before cell division.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.

Front

What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA brings amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is the role of rRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

rRNA makes up the ribosome and helps facilitate the translation process.
