Protein Synthesis

Front

What is the process of translation in protein synthesis?

Back

Translation is the process where mRNA is decoded to form a protein.

Front

Which component of DNA determines the traits of an organism?

Back

Nitrogen Bases determine the traits of an organism.

Front

In RNA, Uracil pairs with which nitrogen base?

Back

In RNA, Uracil pairs with Adenine.

Front

How many amino acids are coded for by the nucleotide sequence ATG GGA ACT CCA?

Back

4 amino acids are coded for by the sequence ATG GGA ACT CCA.

Front

What enzyme adds new RNA nucleotides to make mRNA?

Back

RNA Polymerase is the enzyme that adds new RNA nucleotides to make mRNA.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins from mRNA.

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 codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid.
