Protein Synthesis

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a three-nucleotide sequence in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid.

Front

What base replaces T in RNA?

Back

In RNA, the base Thymine (T) is replaced with Uracil (U).

Front

What is the order of Protein Synthesis?

Back

The order of Protein Synthesis is Transcription -> Translation -> Protein.

Front

What is transcription?

Back

Transcription is the process of creating RNA from a DNA template.

Front

Where does translation occur?

Back

Translation occurs in the ribosome.

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?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA) brings amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the synthesis of RNA from DNA, while translation is the synthesis of proteins from mRNA.

Front

What is an amino acid?

Back

An amino acid is a building block of proteins, coded for by codons in mRNA.
