Front

What allows base pairs to separate during transcription and replication?

Back

The weakness of hydrogen bonds between the bases of DNA.

Front

What is translation in the context of genetics?

Back

Translation converts mRNA into a polypeptide.

Homologous chromosomes.

Front

What is the monomer of proteins?

Back

Amino acids.

Front

What is the role of hydrogen bonds in DNA structure?

Back

They hold the two strands of DNA together but are weak enough to allow separation during replication and transcription.

Front

Define transcription in genetics.

Back

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.

Front

What is the function of mRNA?

Back

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

Front

What are the building blocks of nucleic acids?

Back

Nucleotides.

Front

What is a polypeptide?

Back

A polypeptide is a chain of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.
