14 Questions
What is the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology?
The theory describing the relationship between nucleic acids and proteins as the flow of information.
During DNA replication, what is the function of anti-parallel strands?
They help maintain the stability and structure of the DNA molecule.
In transcription, what is the role of tRNA?
Carry amino acids to the correct spot along the mRNA molecule.

Directs the translation of mRNA into proteins.
Which process involves enzymes unzipping DNA exposing the template and coding strands?
Transcription
What signals the end of a gene during transcription?
Terminator sequence in DNA
What is the role of messenger RNA (mRNA) in the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology?
Carries the information that specifies a protein
