What is the role of rRNA in the cell?

Back

rRNA makes up ribosomes, which are the sites of protein synthesis.

Front

Where is DNA located in a eukaryotic cell?

Back

DNA is confined to the nucleus.

Front

What happens to mRNA after it is synthesized?

Back

mRNA leaves the nucleus to be translated into protein.

Front

What is the result of DNA replication?

Back

DNA replication results in two DNA molecules, each with one new strand and one original strand.

Front

What is the complementary DNA strand for ATCGAG?

Back

The complementary strand is TAGCTC.

Front

What is transcription in the context of DNA?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.

Front

What is the function of mRNA?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes for protein synthesis.

Front

What are the three main types of RNA involved in protein synthesis?

Back

The three main types of RNA are mRNA (messenger RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA), and rRNA (ribosomal RNA).

Front

What is the significance of the promoter region in DNA?

Back

The promoter region is a sequence of DNA that initiates transcription of a particular gene.

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 instead of thymine.
