#6
Front (Question)

Name the 4 base pairs

Back (Answer)

Adenine Thymine Cytosine Guanine

#7
Front (Question)

Each base structure only fits with one other type , name the pairs

Back (Answer)

What are proteins made up of?

Back (Answer)

Amino acids

#9
Front (Question)

Name the 5 proteins

Back (Answer)

Structural Hormones Antibodies Receptors Enzymes

#10
Front (Question)

Protein synthesis stage 1:

Back (Answer)

mRNA is synthesised making a complementary copy of the genetic code ( A,T C,G)

#11
Front (Question)

Protein synthesis stage 2:

Back (Answer)

mRNA carries the complementary copy from the nucleus to the ribosome

#12
Front (Question)

Protein synthesis stage 3:

Back (Answer)

mRNA binds at the ribosome and a protein is then synthesised from amino acids
