the role of DNA

Question 1

DNA purpose is to contain a code based on sequence of nucleotides (genes) that serves as a template for?

Answer 1

production of another nucleic acid, RNA

Question 2

transcription is the process of?

Answer 2

reading DNA and writing the information as RNA

Question 3

the two results of transcription are?

Answer 3

final gene product (noncoding RNAs) or a messenger RNA (mRNA) to construct proteins

Question 4

translation is the process of?

Answer 4

synthesis of proteins using RNA as a template and is accomplished by ribosome (ribosomes contain many proteins and rRNA)

Question 5

central dogma of molecular biology is the overall process of?

Answer 5

DNA to RNA to proteins

Question 6

the genetic codes contains what?

Answer 6

A, T, G, C

Question 7

genetic cods are written in three-letter words for?

Answer 7

particular amino acid

Question 8

a nucleic acid word is referred to as?

Answer 8

a codon

Question 9

what nucleotides are used in codons?

Answer 9

U, C, A, G

Question 10

how many codons are there?

Answer 10

64, where 61 specify amino acids and 3 are stop codons

Question 11

what are the purpose of codons?

Answer 11

to notify the ribosome that the protein is complete and cause it to stop reading the mRNA

Question 12

what are two or more codons coding for the same amino acid called?

Answer 12

synonyms and are said to be degenerate
