Protein Synthesis

Front

What type of RNA is produced during transcription?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA) is produced during transcription.

Front

In RNA, Uracil pairs with which base?

Back

Uracil pairs with adenine in RNA.

Front

What part of the DNA nucleotide codes for the protein?

Back

The nitrogen base sequence of the DNA nucleotide codes for the protein.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a group of 3 nucleotides located on the mRNA.

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA) brings amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is the function of mRNA?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome 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 ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins from amino acids.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA contains deoxyribose sugar and thymine, while RNA contains ribose sugar and uracil.

Front

What is an anticodon?

Back

An anticodon is a group of 3 nucleotides on tRNA that pairs with a codon on mRNA.
