FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is DNA?

Back

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is the molecule that carries the genetic instructions for life. It is composed of two strands that coil around each other to form a double helix.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is RNA?

Back

RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) is a single-stranded molecule that plays a crucial role in the synthesis of proteins. It is involved in translating the genetic information from DNA into proteins.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is protein synthesis?

Back

Protein synthesis is the process by which cells generate new proteins. It involves two main steps: transcription (copying DNA to mRNA) and translation (reading mRNA to assemble amino acids into proteins).

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What are the four bases of DNA?

Back

The four bases of DNA are Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G).

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that corresponds to a specific amino acid or a stop signal during protein synthesis.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is an anti-codon?

Back

An anti-codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in tRNA that is complementary to a codon in mRNA, allowing for the correct amino acid to be added during protein synthesis.
