Front

What is the role of DNA in living organisms?

Back

DNA serves as the blueprint for traits of all living things.

Front

Where does transcription occur in eukaryotic cells?

Back

Transcription occurs in the Nucleus.

Front

Where does translation take place in eukaryotic cells?

Back

Translation takes place in Ribosomes in the cytoplasm.

Front

What are the bases found in RNA?

Back

RNA contains adenine, guanine, uracil, and cytosine.

Front

What is splicing in the context of RNA?

Back

Splicing is the process of altering RNA to remove introns and join exons.

Front

What is the function of RNA Polymerase I?

Back

RNA Polymerase I is responsible for synthesizing ribosomal RNA (rRNA).

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine, while RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil.

Front

What is the significance of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

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

Front

What are introns and exons?

Back

Introns are non-coding regions of RNA that are removed during splicing, while exons are coding regions that remain.
