Transcription

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the complementary RNA sequence for the DNA sequence TAC?

Back

AUG

Front

How do you reverse transcribe the RNA sequence UAC-AUG-UAG-GGC-AAC?

Back

ATG-TAC-ATC-CCG-TTG

Front

What is the complementary mRNA sequence for the DNA sequence GCTATA?

Back

CGAUAU

Front

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

Back

mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA.

Front

What is the function of tRNA in the process of translation?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the coded mRNA sequence.

Front

What is the significance of the start codon in mRNA?

Back

The start codon (AUG) signals the beginning of translation and codes for the amino acid methionine.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that corresponds to a specific amino acid.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying DNA into RNA, while translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.
