TEST: DNA REPLICATION/PROTEIN SYNTHESIS/DNA MUTATION

Front

What is a point mutation?

Back

A point mutation is a type of mutation where one nucleotide base replaces an original nucleotide base.

Front

What is a substitution mutation?

Back

A substitution mutation is a specific type of point mutation where one nucleotide is replaced by another.

Front

What does a nucleotide consist of?

Back

A nucleotide consists of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What is a mutation?

Back

A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence of a chromosome.

Front

What is the definition of DNA mutation?

Back

A DNA mutation is a change in the DNA strand.

Front

What sugar is found in RNA?

Back

The sugar found in RNA is ribose.

Front

What is the role of DNA in cells?

Back

DNA stores genetic information and provides instructions for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

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

Front

What is the process of translation?

Back

Translation is the process where ribosomes synthesize proteins using mRNA as a template.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA contains deoxyribose sugar and is double-stranded, while RNA contains ribose sugar and is single-stranded.
