DNA Replication and Protein Synthesis

Front

What is the process of copying DNA called?

Back

DNA replication.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

Where does transcription occur in eukaryotic cells?

Back

In the nucleus.

Front

What base pairs with Adenine in DNA?

Back

Thymine.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins from mRNA.

Front

What is the complementary DNA strand for the sequence ACGT?

Back

TGCA.

Front

What is the first step of transcription?

Back

The enzyme RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region of the DNA.

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 process of decoding mRNA to form a protein called?

Back

Translation.

Front

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

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA), and rRNA (ribosomal RNA).
