Protein Synthesis

Front

What is the main function of tRNA?

Back

The main function of tRNA is to bring amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosomes.

Front

What is the complementary mRNA sequence to the DNA strand AACTGAA?

Back

The complementary mRNA sequence is UUGACUU.

Front

How many amino acids are found on one tRNA?

Back

One tRNA carries one amino acid.

Front

What does translation do in protein synthesis?

Back

Translation converts mRNA into a polypeptide.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a three-nucleotide sequence that codes for an amino acid.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins by linking amino acids together.

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

Transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA template.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

The building blocks of proteins are amino acids.

Front

What is the difference between mRNA and tRNA?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, while tRNA brings the appropriate amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What is the start codon in mRNA?

Back

The start codon in mRNA is AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine.
