Transcription/Translation

Front

What is the structure of RNA?

Back

RNA is single-stranded.

Front

What is the primary function of Translation in the cell?

Back

The goal of Translation is to synthesize proteins.

Front

What is the relationship between DNA, RNA, and proteins?

Back

The correct order to make a protein is DNA -> RNA -> Protein.

Front

How many amino acids does one mRNA codon correspond to?

Back

One mRNA codon carries instructions for one amino acid.

Front

What is the process of converting DNA to RNA called?

Back

Transcription.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that specifies an amino acid.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in Translation?

Back

Ribosomes facilitate the assembly of amino acids into polypeptide chains during Translation.

Front

What is the start codon for protein synthesis?

Back

AUG (which codes for Methionine).

Front

What is the difference between mRNA and tRNA?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, while tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during Translation.
