Transcription and Translation Review

Front

What enzyme is responsible for making RNA?

Back

RNA polymerase

Front

What is the sugar found in RNA?

Back

Ribose

Front

Where would you find the anticodon?

Back

tRNA

Front

Which type of RNA reads the coded gene and makes a protein?

Back

rRNA

Front

If the mRNA codon is AUG, what would the matching tRNA anticodon be?

Back

UAC

Front

What is the primary function of mRNA?

Back

To carry genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the role of tRNA in translation?

Back

To bring the correct amino acids to the ribosome based on the mRNA codon.

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

The synthesis of RNA from a DNA 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.

Front

What are codons?

Back

Sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that specify an amino acid.
