DNA, RNA, Proteins

Front

What are the complementary base pairs in DNA?

Back

Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T) and Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C).

Front

What forms the backbone of the DNA ladder?

Back

The backbone of the DNA ladder is formed by deoxyribose (sugar) and phosphate.

Front

What shape does a DNA molecule have?

Back

A DNA molecule has a double helix shape.

Front

What is the function of mRNA?

Back

mRNA carries information from genes to ribosomes for protein synthesis.

Front

How does DNA relate to protein production in a cell?

Back

DNA controls the production of proteins in the cell.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where proteins are assembled from amino acids.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA contains deoxyribose sugar and thymine, while RNA contains ribose sugar and uracil.

Front

What is transcription in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is translation in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

Translation is the process where ribosomes use mRNA to assemble amino acids into proteins.

Front

What are amino acids?

Back

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
