Front

What type of bond holds the two strands of the DNA double helix together between the complimentary nitrogenous bases?

Back

Hydrogen bonds

Front

What is the process called where the genetic information in DNA is rewritten as a molecule of mRNA?

Back

Transcription

Front

What are DNA and RNA classified as among the four macromolecules (Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic Acids)?

Back

Nucleic Acids

Front

Which sugar is found in RNA?

Back

Ribose sugar

Front

Which sugar is found in DNA?

Back

Deoxyribose sugar

Front

What does tRNA carry to the ribosome?

Back

Amino Acids

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of converting DNA to mRNA, while translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.

Front

What are mutations?

Back

Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence that can lead to changes in protein structure and function.
