FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is protein synthesis?
Back
The process by which cells generate new proteins, involving transcription of DNA to mRNA and translation of mRNA to amino acids.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?
Back
mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?
Back
tRNA (transfer RNA) transports specific amino acids to the ribosome during translation, matching them to the corresponding codons on the mRNA.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?
Back
Ribosomes are the cellular structures where translation occurs, facilitating the assembly of amino acids into proteins.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is transcription?
Back
Transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA template, resulting in the formation of mRNA.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is translation?
Back
Translation is the process of decoding mRNA to synthesize proteins, where ribosomes read the mRNA sequence and tRNA brings the appropriate amino acids.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What are codons?
Back
Codons are sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that correspond to specific amino acids or stop signals during protein synthesis.
