DNA-Transcription-Translation

Front

What is the role of rRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

rRNA makes up the structure of ribosomes, which are the sites of protein synthesis.

Front

What type of bonds hold the two strands of a DNA molecule together?

Back

Hydrogen bonds hold the two strands of a DNA molecule together between their base pairs.

Front

What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transfers amino acids to the ribosomes during protein synthesis.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in the process of protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA provides the information from DNA to ribosomes for protein synthesis.

Front

What is transcription in the context of genetics?

Back

Transcription is the process by which the genetic code of DNA is copied into a strand of RNA.

Front

What are the three main types of RNA involved in protein synthesis?

Back

The three main types of RNA are mRNA (messenger RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA), and rRNA (ribosomal RNA).

Front

What is the process of translation in protein synthesis?

Back

Translation is the process where the sequence of mRNA is decoded to build a polypeptide chain (protein) at the ribosome.

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA is a double helix composed of two strands of nucleotides, with a sugar-phosphate backbone and nitrogenous bases.

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

The four nitrogenous bases in DNA are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).

Front

How do the base pairs in DNA pair up?

Back

In DNA, adenine pairs with thymine (A-T) and cytosine pairs with guanine (C-G).
