Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
RNA   Is a nucleic acid that directs the production of proteins  
🗑
Transcription   The process of changing DNA into RNA  
🗑
Codon   Is the three base "word" of mRNA used to determine the amino acid  
🗑
Transfer RNA   job is to carry an amino acid to the ribosome and find the correct codon.  
🗑
Translation   Determining the amino acid sequence that corresponds to the codon  
🗑
Anti-codon   Found on the tRNA molecule and has the complementary bases to an mRNA codon  
🗑
Exons   Are spliced back together to form the mRNA molecule  
🗑
polypeptide   A protein is made of a ________________chain of amino acids  
🗑
Messenger RNA   job is to carry encoded information to the ribosome.  
🗑
Intron   The segment of the DNA that is cut out prior to becoming mRNA  
🗑
Ribosomal RNA   Forms an important part of the subunits of the ribosome  
🗑
Differences of DNA and RNA: Uracil   RNA contains ______________ instead of Thymine  
🗑
Differences of DNA and RNA: Ribose   RNA contains _______________ instead of Deoxyribose  
🗑
Differences of DNA and RNA: Single Stranded   RNA is generally __________________ instead of double standed  
🗑
Why is RNA important?   RNA are involved in making proteins and RNA controls the assembly of amino acids into proteins  
🗑
Cytoplasm   This is where Protein synthesis takes place  
🗑
When transcribing from DNA to mRNA what is the opposite of (A) Adenine?   (U) Uracil  
🗑
What is the mRNA strand from this DNA strand? DNA: CAC TGT   GUG ACA  
🗑
What is the mRNA strand from this DNA strand? DNA: ACA GTG   UGU CAC  
🗑
   
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
