Front

What molecule contains Codons?

Back

Messenger RNA (mRNA) contains codons.

Front

Which nucleic acid brings individual amino acids to the ribosome?

Back

Transfer RNA (tRNA) is responsible for bringing individual amino acids to the ribosome.

Front

What is the amino acid sequence for the codons TAC-TAG-GCC-ATT?

Back

The amino acid sequence is Met-Ile-Arg-stop.

Front

AUGCCU is a section of what?

Back

AUGCCU is a section of RNA.

Front

What base is present in RNA but NOT in DNA?

Back

Uracil is present in RNA but not in DNA.

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

What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the codons in mRNA.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

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 start codon and its significance?

Back

The start codon is AUG, which signals the beginning of protein synthesis.
