What does tRNA bring to the ribosome?

Back

tRNA brings amino acids to the ribosome.

Front

What is the main function of tRNA?

Back

The main function of tRNA is to bring amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosomes.

Front

What is the monomer of a protein?

Back

The monomer of a protein is an amino acid.

Front

What is the complementary mRNA strand for the DNA sequence AGC CAT GTA TAC?

Back

The complementary mRNA strand is UCG GUA CAU AUG.

Front

What is the job of messenger RNA?

Back

The job of messenger RNA is to carry genetic information.

Front

Define the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology.

Back

The Central Dogma describes the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein.

Front

What is transcription in the context of the Central Dogma?

Back

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

Front

What is translation in the context of the Central Dogma?

Back

Translation is the process where ribosomes synthesize proteins using mRNA as a template.

Front

What role do ribosomes play in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the cellular machinery that assembles amino acids into proteins.

Front

What are the three main types of RNA involved in protein synthesis?

Back

The three main types of RNA are messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA).
