Ribonucleic Acid

#2
Front (Question)

RNA structure

Back (Answer)

single stranded COPY of DNA

#3
Front (Question)

the four RNA nitrogenous bases are

Back (Answer)

• Adenine • Uracil • Guanine • Cytosine

#7
Front (Question)

c pairs with

Back (Answer)

g

#8
Front (Question)

the three types of RNA are

Back (Answer)

mRNA - messenger RNA rRNA - ribosomal RNA tRNA - transfer RNA

#9
Front (Question)

the two stages of protein synthesis are

Back (Answer)

• transcription • translation

#10
Front (Question)

where does transcription happen

Back (Answer)

inside the nucleus

#11
Front (Question)

where does translation happen

Back (Answer)

inside the cytoplasm

#12
Front (Question)

transcription is

Back (Answer)

the process of making a copy of DNA

#13
Front (Question)

transcription steps

Back (Answer)

1 - the gene in the nucleus unwinds to expose the bases 2 - free mRNA nucleotides in the nucleus make a complementary strand of DNA 3 - mRNA leaves the nucleus through a pore

#14
Front (Question)

translation is

Back (Answer)

when genetic information encoded in mRNA is used to create a specific sequence of amino acids

#15
Front (Question)

steps of translation

Back (Answer)

1 - The mRNA attaches to a ribosome in the cytoplasm 2 - The tRNA attaches its anticodon to the matching codon of the mRNA 3 - The tRNA releases its amino acid and a peptide bonds form between the other amino acids to form a protein

#16
Front (Question)

3 bases on DNA is

Back (Answer)

triplet

#17
Front (Question)

3 bases of mRNA is

Back (Answer)

codon

#18
Front (Question)

3 bases of tRNA is

Back (Answer)

anti-codon

#19
Front (Question)

start code

Back (Answer)

AUG (Methionine)

#20
Front (Question)

RNA takes information from

Back (Answer)

nucleus to ribosome

#21
Front (Question)

cytoplasm is

Back (Answer)

everything in the cell except for the nucleus

#22
Front (Question)

what are the ‘building blocks’ for proteins

Back (Answer)

amino acids

#23
Front (Question)

RNA polymerase is

Back (Answer)

an enzyme that constructs mRNA in the nucleus
