DNA and Protein Synthesis Test S25

Front

What are the four bases found in DNA?

Back

Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine.

Front

Does the sequence of amino acids in a protein affect its function?

Back

Yes, the order of amino acids determines the protein's structure and function.

Front

What two molecules make up the backbone of the DNA double helix?

Back

Deoxyribose (sugar) and phosphate.

Front

In DNA, which base pairs with Adenine?

Back

Thymine.

Front

In RNA, which base pairs with Uracil?

Back

Adenine.

Front

What is the role of DNA in cells?

Back

DNA stores genetic information and provides instructions for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

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 the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

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