Shared Unit 2.4 DNA Review

Front

What is the structure of a DNA molecule?

Back

A DNA molecule is structured as a double helix.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of 3 base pairs that transfer to amino acids.

Front

Which base pairs with Cytosine in RNA?

Back

In RNA, Cytosine pairs with Guanine.

Front

What happens during the transcription of DNA to RNA?

Back

During transcription, Adenine pairs with Uracil.

Front

In double-stranded DNA, what is the relationship between Adenine and Thymine?

Back

The amount of Adenine is always equal to the amount of Thymine.

Front

What are the four bases of DNA?

Back

The four bases of DNA are Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine.

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 contains deoxyribose sugar and thymine, while RNA contains ribose sugar and uracil.

Front

What is the process of translation?

Back

Translation is the process where ribosomes synthesize proteins using mRNA as a template.

Front

What is the function of tRNA?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.
