Front

What is an example of artificial selection?

Back

Front

What are the three components of a nucleotide?

Back

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 protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where proteins are synthesized by translating mRNA.

Front

What is the process of translation in protein synthesis?

Back

Translation is the process where ribosomes read mRNA and assemble amino acids into a polypeptide chain.

Front

What are amino acids?

Back

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, linked together by peptide bonds.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains deoxyribose sugar, while RNA is single-stranded and contains ribose sugar.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

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