Transcription and Translation

Front

What is the job of rRNA?

Back

rRNA helps build proteins.

Front

Which of the following in protein synthesis happens last?

Back

Amino acids are bonded together using tRNA to make a protein.

Front

What is the job of mRNA?

Back

mRNA carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes for protein synthesis.

Front

What are the monomers of DNA?

Back

Nucleotides.

Front

During transcription, which of the following does NOT happen?

Back

Synthesis of a new DNA strand.

Front

What is transcription?

Back

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

Front

What is translation?

Back

Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.

Front

What role does tRNA play in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the coded mRNA message.

Front

What is the function of RNA polymerase?

Back

RNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes RNA from a DNA template during transcription.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides on mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid.
