Protein Synthesis Practice

Front

What is the main function of tRNA?

Back

The main function of tRNA is to bring amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosomes.

Front

Where does the second step of protein synthesis take place?

Back

The second step of protein synthesis takes place in the Cytoplasm/Ribosome.

Front

What is the process that occurs in living cells to synthesize proteins?

Back

The process is called translation, and it occurs in the cytoplasm.

Front

What is the process to go from DNA to mRNA?

Back

The process is called transcription.

Front

If the DNA strand is TTACCGATACAT, what would the transcription mRNA strand be?

Back

The transcription mRNA strand would be AAUGGUAUGUA.

Front

What are the two main stages of protein synthesis?

Back

The two main stages of protein synthesis are transcription and translation.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins by linking amino acids together.

Front

What is mRNA and its function?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of converting DNA to mRNA, while translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.

Front

What is the role of amino acids in protein synthesis?

Back

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, linked together in a specific sequence to form a protein.
