DNA Replication & Protein Synthesis

Front

What type of RNA carries the DNA message out of the nucleus to the ribosomes?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA) is responsible for carrying the genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes for protein synthesis.

Front

What is included in transcription?

Back

Transcription is the process where DNA is transcribed to mRNA.

Front

Create the complementary strand from the DNA strand: AATCATGGA

Back

The complementary strand is TTAGTACCT.

Front

When DNA is transcribed to RNA, what does adenine pair with?

Back

Adenine pairs with uracil (U) in RNA.

Front

Why can bacteria recognize a human gene and produce a human protein?

Back

The basic components of DNA are the same in humans and bacteria.

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA) brings amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is the function of ribosomal RNA (rRNA)?

Back

rRNA is a component of ribosomes and helps facilitate the translation of mRNA into proteins.

Front

What is the process of DNA replication?

Back

DNA replication is the process of making a copy of DNA before cell division.

Front

What are the base pairing rules in DNA?

Back

In DNA, adenine pairs with thymine (A-T) and cytosine pairs with guanine (C-G).

Front

What is the significance of the promoter region in DNA?

Back

The promoter region is where RNA polymerase binds to initiate transcription.
