Transcription
This is the process of copying DNA into mRNA.
What is transcription?
This process builds proteins from amino acids.
What is translation
This RNA carries genetic instructions from DNA to the ribosome.
What is mRNA?
This organelle is known as the control center of the cell
What is the nucleus?
This structure controls what enters and leaves the cell
What is the cell membrane
This is the organelle where transcription occurs.
What is the nucleus?
This is where translation takes place in the cell.
What is the ribosome
This RNA makes up part of the ribosome itself.
What is rRNA?
This organelle is responsible for making proteins.
What are ribosomes
This is the fluid that holds all organelles in place
What is the cytoplasm
This type of RNA is produced during transcription.
What is mRNA
This RNA molecule carries amino acids to the ribosome.
What is tRNA
This RNA matches anticodons to codons during translation.
What is tRNA
This organelle is called the “powerhouse of the cell.
What is the mitochondria
This structure is found in plant cells but not animal cells.
What is the chloroplast
These are the base-pairing rules used when DNA is copied into RNA.
What are A–U and C–G
This three-letter sequence on mRNA codes for an amino acid
What is a codon
This type of codon signals the end of translation.
What is a stop codon?
This organelle packages and ships materials
What is the Golgi apparatus
This process occurs in chloroplasts to make food for the plant.
What is photosynthesis
Why transcription is important for the cell.
What is it allows genetic information to be used to make proteins?
This codon (AUG) signals the beginning of protein synthesis.
What is the start codon
The RNA sequence made from the DNA strand TAC
What is AUG?
This organelle breaks down food and cellular waste.
What is the lysosome?
Explain why mitochondria are essential for cell survival.
What is they produce energy for the cell?
