Unit 6 - DNA, RNA, & Protein Synthesis Flashcardizz Review Game

Front

What is transcription?

Back

The process of forming an RNA molecule from a DNA template.

Front

What are the base pairs for the DNA sequence CATCAT?

Back

GTAGTA.

Front

What is the process shown in the picture of DNA unwinding and RNA synthesis?

Back

Transcription.

Front

What amino acid does the RNA segment UUG code for?

Back

Leucine.

Front

What does tRNA carry?

Back

An anti-codon and an amino acid.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is translation in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

The process of decoding mRNA to synthesize a protein.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, facilitating the assembly of amino acids into proteins.

Front

What is an anti-codon?

Back

A sequence of three nucleotides in tRNA that pairs with a complementary codon in mRNA.

Front

What is the significance of the genetic code?

Back

The genetic code is a set of rules that defines how the sequence of nucleotides in DNA and RNA is translated into amino acids.
