Mutations/Transcription translation

Front

What is the relationship between DNA, RNA, and protein?

Back

DNA makes RNA, which is then translated into protein.

Front

What are the components of a nucleotide?

Back

Nucleotides are made of sugar, phosphate, and a nitrogen base.

Front

What is a mutation?

Back

A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence.

Front

What is a gene mutation?

Back

A gene mutation is a change to a single part of DNA or to one gene.

Front

How do you transcribe DNA into RNA?

Back

Replace thymine (T) with uracil (U) and convert the DNA sequence accordingly.

Front

What is transcription?

Back

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

Front

What is translation?

Back

Translation is the process of converting RNA into a protein.

Front

What are the four nitrogen bases in DNA?

Back

Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G).

Front

What is the role of RNA polymerase?

Back

RNA polymerase is the enzyme that synthesizes RNA from a DNA template during transcription.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine, while RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil.
