Front

How many codons equals 1 amino acid?

Back

1 codon corresponds to 1 amino acid.

Front

Where does TRANSCRIPTION occur?

Back

Transcription occurs in the Nucleus.

Front

Which organelle is the location where protein is made?

Back

Proteins are made in the Ribosome.

Front

DNA is the template for what?

Back

DNA serves as the template for mRNA.

Front

The process to go from DNA to mRNA is called what?

Back

The process is called transcription.

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 are codons?

Back

Codons are sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that specify a particular amino acid.

Front

What is the function of tRNA?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of making mRNA from DNA, while translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where proteins are synthesized by translating mRNA.
