Front

What is the role of DNA in protein production?

Back

DNA contains the instructions used to make proteins.

Front

What cell process is disrupted by colchicine?

Back

Mitosis is disrupted by colchicine.

Front

What carries the instructions for making amino acids in a protein?

Back

The sequence of nitrogen bases on the mRNA carries the instructions.

Front

How are mitosis and meiosis similar?

Back

Both require DNA replication.

Front

What gas is produced by Elodea during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen is produced as a result of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the function of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes.

Front

What is the process of photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in four genetically diverse gametes.

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosomes during protein synthesis.

Front

What is crossing over in meiosis?

Back

Crossing over is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis.
