Front

What is the flow of genetic information in cells?

Back

DNA -> RNA -> Protein

Front

True or False: An organism's DNA is a code to make proteins.

Back

True

Front

What does DNA hold the code for?

Back

Proteins

Front

What are proteins made of?

Back

Amino Acids

Front

Which organelle is the location where proteins are made?

Back

Ribosome

Front

What is the role of RNA in protein synthesis?

Back

RNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

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

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA), rRNA (ribosomal RNA)

Front

What is mRNA and its function?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome.

Front

What is tRNA and its role in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in cells?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where proteins are synthesized.
