Daily Review - Translation (Task 17)

Front

What does tRNA "transfer"?

Back

tRNA transfers amino acids.

Front

What is the correct amino acid sequence for the mRNA code AUGCCAGUAUGA?

Back

The correct amino acid sequence is Met-Pro-Val-Stop.

Front

What do amino acids come together to join?

Back

Amino acids come together to join a growing polypeptide chain (protein).

Front

Where are anti-codons located?

Back

Anti-codons are located on tRNA.

Front

What is a polypeptide?

Back

A polypeptide is a sequence of amino acids held together by peptide bonds.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in translation?

Back

Ribosomes facilitate the assembly of amino acids into polypeptides during translation.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

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

Front

What is the start codon and its significance?

Back

The start codon is AUG, which signals the beginning of protein synthesis.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

The building blocks of proteins are amino acids.
