DNA & Protein Synthesis

Front

What molecule is created during TRANSLATION?

Back

Protein

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA is involved in carrying amino acids.

Front

What is the process called when DNA makes an exact copy of itself?

Back

Replication

Front

What does DNA replication result in?

Back

Each DNA molecule has one new strand and one original strand.

Front

What is an anti-codon?

Back

It contains a sequence complementary to the codon.

Front

What is the primary function of mRNA?

Back

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

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids.

Front

What is transcription in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

The process of copying a segment of DNA into mRNA.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins from amino acids.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine, while RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil.
