Front

What is the process of translating mRNA into a protein called?

Back

Translation

Front

What are the sections of RNA that are read during translation?

Back

Codons

Front

What is the mRNA sequence transcribed from the DNA sequence TATGA?

Back

AUACU

Front

Which of the following is NOT a step in protein synthesis?

Back

Translocation

Front

Where are codons found?

Back

Codons are found on mRNA.

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the codons on mRNA.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes facilitate the translation of mRNA into a polypeptide chain.

Front

What is transcription in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is an anticodon?

Back

An anticodon is a sequence of three nucleotides on tRNA that pairs with a corresponding codon on mRNA.

Front

How many nucleotides make up a codon?

Back

Three nucleotides.
