protein p3 Flashcards
What is the process called when messenger RNA is synthesized from a DNA template?
Transcription
How does the DNA code influence the synthesis of messenger RNA?
It dictates the order of bases in the RNA strand.
What happens to the messenger RNA after it has been translated?
It is degraded.
What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?
To read messenger RNA.
What is the significance of reading messenger RNA three bases at a time?
It ensures accuracy in protein synthesis.
Which of the following best describes the relationship between genes and proteins?
Genes provide the instructions to make proteins.
What is the primary role of transfer RNA during translation?
To deliver amino acids to the ribosome.
Which enzyme is responsible for synthesizing messenger RNA during transcription?
RNA polymerase
How many pairs of chromosomes are present in human cells?
23
Where does messenger RNA go after processing?
To the ribosome.
