  • What are the two main steps of protein synthesis?
    Transcription and Translation
  • Where in the cell is DNA located in eukaryotes?
    In the nucleus
  • What are the four nitrogenous bases found in DNA?
    Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G)
  • Which base is found in RNA but not in DNA?
    Uracil (U)
  • What is translation and where does it occur?
    the process of converting mRNA into a protein; it occurs in the ribosome
  • Which is the correct partner of the codon given? TCG AGT
    AGC TCA
  • What are the building blocks (monomers) of DNA?
    Nucleotides
  • What is the role of RNA in protein synthesis?
    RNA carries genetic information from DNA and helps assemble amino acids into proteins.
  • How can changes in the DNA sequence lead to genetic disorders?
    Mutations can result in defective or missing proteins, which can disrupt normal cell functions and cause genetic disorders (e.g., cystic fibrosis, sickle cell a
