DNA-RNA-Pro Syn-Gene-Regul-Mutations REVIEW

Front

Where is mRNA made?

Back

mRNA is made in the nucleus.

Front

What type of mutation changes one base pair, but the same amino acids are translated into the protein?

Back

This type of mutation is called a silent mutation.

Front

What is the location in the cell for the first step in protein synthesis?

Back

The first step in protein synthesis occurs in the nucleus.

Front

What is the molecule called that is made up of a nitrogen base, a sugar, and a phosphate group?

Back

This molecule is called a nucleotide.

Front

What does a gene code for?

Back

A gene codes for a protein.

Front

What is the role of DNA in the cell?

Back

DNA stores genetic information and provides instructions for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the process of converting DNA to RNA called?

Back

The process is called transcription.

Front

What is the process of translating RNA into a protein called?

Back

The process is called translation.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

The building blocks of proteins are amino acids.

Front

What is a frameshift mutation?

Back

A frameshift mutation occurs when nucleotides are inserted or deleted, altering the reading frame of the gene.
