DNA, RNA, Proteins

Front

Where does protein synthesis (translation) take place?

Back

In the cytoplasm on ribosomes.

Front

What is a key difference between RNA and DNA?

Back

RNA is single stranded and DNA is double stranded.

Front

What are proteins made of?

Back

Proteins are made of amino acids.

Front

What are mutations?

Back

Mutations are changes in DNA.

Front

What is the process of transcribing DNA to RNA?

Back

The DNA sequence TACGAA would be transcribed to AUGCUU.

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 structure of DNA?

Back

DNA is a double helix composed of two strands of nucleotides.

Front

What are the four bases of DNA?

Back

Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G).

Front

What are the four bases of RNA?

Back

Adenine (A), Uracil (U), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G).

Front

What is the function of mRNA?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.
