Front

During transcription, DNA is the template for making __________.

Back

mRNA

Front

Three nitrogen bases on mRNA which code for an amino acid are called a __________.

Back

codon

Front

Which molecule carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosome?

Back

mRNA

Front

During which process is a chain of amino acids created?

Back

Translation

Front

____________ is the enzyme that unzips the DNA strand by breaking the hydrogen bonds between nitrogen bases.

Back

DNA Helicase

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

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

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids.

Front

What is the significance of the genetic code?

Back

The genetic code determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein.
