Biology Part 2

Front

Where does DNA replication take place in humans?

Back

Nucleus

Front

What is the amino acid sequence for the mRNA segment UCUAUGUUUACGUAAGGG?

Back

Ser-Met-Phe-Thr-Stop

Front

What is transcription in biology?

Back

The process by which genetic information in DNA is transferred to an RNA molecule.

Front

Where does the editing of messenger RNA take place?

Back

In the nucleus.

Front

What are the different types of sprinkles in Emma's cake analogy?

Back

They represent different nitrogen bases.

Front

What is the role of the nucleus in a cell?

Back

It houses the cell's DNA and is the site of transcription.

Front

What is mRNA?

Back

Messenger RNA, a type of RNA that conveys genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes translate mRNA into amino acid sequences.

Front

What are nitrogen bases?

Back

The building blocks of DNA and RNA, including adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA contains deoxyribose sugar and thymine, while RNA contains ribose sugar and uracil.
