Answer 1

DNA

Question 2

What is the template produced from DNA, consisting of only one strand of nucleotide molecules?

Answer 2

RNA

Question 3

What is the site of protein synthesis?

Answer 3

Ribosomes

Question 4

What is transcription?

Answer 4

The process of converting DNA to messenger RNA

Question 5

What is translation?

Answer 5

The process of protein production from an RNA template

Question 6

What are the two types of nucleus acid?

Answer 6

Dioxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)
Ribonucleic Acid (RNA)

Question 7

What are genes?

Answer 7

sections of DNA strands that specify the amino acids that are required to make a specific protein

Question 8

Summarise protein synthesis

Answer 8

1: Transcription: Instructions are copied from DNA onto messenger RNA (mRNA) in the nucleus
2: mRNA leaves the nucleus onto the ribosomes
3. Translation: Ribosomes read instructions and make proteins using amino acids
4. Proteins are packaged and ready for release
