Protein Synthesis

Front

What are the four bases found in RNA?

Back

Adenine, Uracil, Cytosine, Guanine

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A three-base sequence of mRNA that codes for a single amino acid.

Front

Where does translation occur in the cell?

Back

Ribosome in the cytoplasm.

Front

What is the template for RNA production in a cell?

Back

DNA.

Front

What do both DNA and RNA contain?

Back

Nucleotides.

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 the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into mRNA.

Front

What is an anticodon?

Back

An anticodon is a three-base sequence on tRNA that is complementary to a codon on mRNA.
