Transcription (DNA to RNA)

Front

Where does Transcription take place?

Back

Inside the nucleus.

Front

Which enzyme creates the new mRNA polymer by adding the complementary free RNA nucleotides?

Back

RNA polymerase.

Front

Transcribe the following DNA sequence to the complementary mRNA sequence: TAC CGG CTG

Back

AUG GCC GAC.

Front

What is the monomer of RNA?

Back

Nucleotides.

Front

Which type of RNA is synthesized during transcription?

Back

messenger RNA (mRNA).

Front

What is the role of RNA polymerase in transcription?

Back

It synthesizes RNA by adding complementary RNA nucleotides to the growing mRNA strand.

Front

What is the function of mRNA?

Back

To carry genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What are the three main types of RNA?

Back

messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA).

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