Front

A sequence of 3 bases on mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid is known as a ____________

Back

codon

Front

What is the process of RNA making a protein known as?

Back

Translation

Front

The sequence of codons determines the sequence of Amino Acids. True or False?

Back

True

Front

What is the name of the enzyme that unzips the DNA strand so RNA can be made?

Back

RNA polymerase

Front

Which type of RNA is known as the 'anticodon' and it brings Amino Acids to the growing chain?

Back

Transfer RNA

Front

What is the role of messenger RNA (mRNA) in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of ribosomal RNA (rRNA)?

Back

rRNA forms the core of the ribosome's structure and catalyzes protein synthesis.

Front

Define transcription in the context of DNA to protein synthesis.

Back

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

Front

What is the role of transfer RNA (tRNA) during translation?

Back

tRNA brings the appropriate amino acids to the ribosome based on the codon sequence.

Front

What is the start codon and its significance?

Back

The start codon (AUG) signals the beginning of translation and codes for the amino acid methionine.
