2F Protein Synthesis Vocabulary Quizizz

Silent mutation

• A mutation that does not change the amino acid sequence of a protein.

• A mutation that results in a premature stop codon.

• A mutation that changes one amino acid to another.

• A mutation that occurs in non-coding regions of DNA.

protein synthesis

• The process by which cells build proteins based on genetic instructions.

• The breakdown of proteins into amino acids.

• The process of DNA replication in cells.

• The synthesis of carbohydrates from glucose.

Frameshift mutation

• A mutation caused by insertions or deletions of nucleotides that change the reading frame of the genetic message.

• A mutation that occurs when a single nucleotide is replaced by another nucleotide.

• A mutation that does not affect the amino acid sequence of a protein.

• A mutation that results in the addition of extra nucleotides without altering the reading frame.

codon

• A sequence of three nucleotides that together form a unit of genetic code in DNA or RNA.

• A type of protein that helps in DNA replication.

• A single nucleotide that codes for a specific amino acid.

• A structure that carries genetic information in the form of genes.

Missense mutation

• A mutation that results in a different amino acid being incorporated into a protein.

• A mutation that does not change the amino acid sequence of a protein.

• A mutation that introduces a premature stop codon in a protein.

• A mutation that results in the deletion of one or more amino acids from a protein.

Mutation

• A change in the DNA sequence that can affect genetic information.

• A process that leads to the formation of new species.

• An alteration in the physical appearance of an organism.

• A method of DNA replication.

translation

• The process by which ribosomes create proteins using the mRNA sequence.

• The process of converting DNA into RNA.

• The process of synthesizing lipids in the cell.

• The process of breaking down proteins into amino acids.

Insertion mutation

• A mutation where extra nucleotides are inserted into the DNA sequence.

• A mutation where nucleotides are deleted from the DNA sequence.

• A mutation that changes one nucleotide to another in the DNA sequence.

• A mutation that occurs only in RNA sequences.

RNA

• Ribonucleic acid, a molecule essential for coding, decoding, regulation, and expression of genes.

• A type of protein that helps in muscle contraction.

• A carbohydrate that provides energy to cells.

• A lipid that forms the cell membrane.

messenger RNA (mRNA)

• A type of RNA that carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.

• A type of DNA that synthesizes proteins in the nucleus.

• A type of RNA that is involved in the replication of DNA.

• A type of protein that transports amino acids to the ribosome.
