Protein Synthesis

Front

What is the main function of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are the organelles where protein synthesis occurs.

Front

What type of RNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.

Front

True or False: DNA contains the instructions to make proteins.

Back

True

Front

True or False: DNA can leave the nucleus to perform its functions.

Back

False, DNA never leaves the nucleus.

Front

True or False: RNA is a double helix structure like DNA.

Back

False, RNA is usually single-stranded.

Front

What is the process called where DNA is copied to make mRNA?

Back

Transcription is the process where DNA is copied to make mRNA.

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA) brings amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

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 the role of the nucleus in protein synthesis?

Back

The nucleus houses the DNA, which contains the instructions for making proteins.
