Protein synthesis review

Front

What are the two main processes involved in protein synthesis?

Back

Transcription and Translation.

Front

What is the structure that carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA).

Front

What is the correct sequence for making proteins?

Back

Information in DNA is transferred into RNA and then made into protein.

Front

What are the three bases in mRNA called?

Back

Codons.

Front

What are the corresponding bases in tRNA for codons in mRNA?

Back

Anticodons.

Front

Which base does Guanine bond with?

Back

Cytosine.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where proteins are synthesized.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid.

Front

What is an anticodon?

Back

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