Biology

RNA, transcription, translation

QuestionAnswer
What are proteins made of? Amino acids
How many different types of amino acids are there? 20
What is protein synthesis? The process in which a cell makes portions based on the message contained within its DNA.
where is DNA located? Nucleus
Where are proteins made? Ribosomes
What does 3 bases of code make? A codon
When the bases of code build up and form a long chain- what is that called? A protein
Where does transcription take place? In the nucleus
What is transcription? The genetic information from a strand of DNA is copied into a strand of mRNA
Why does transcription take place in the nucleus? DNA is located in the nucleus
Why does a cell need to carry out transcription in order to make a protein? SO the exact genetic information is copied into a strand of mRNA, which is the MESSENGER that carries out the information so a protein cane be made.
During transcription- what does RNA polymerase do? Separates into two strands of DNA double helix and uses a gene in one DNA strand as a guide to make mRNA.
What does mRNA do? carries code from the DNA in nucleus to where protein synthesis occurs- the ribosomes.
What does tRNA do? has anticodon for mRNA to bind to to make code.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
