Questions and Answers

What is the central dogma of molecular biology?

The central dogma states that DNA makes RNA, and RNA makes protein.

What are the three organelles required for protein synthesis?

The three organelles required for protein synthesis are nucleus, ribosomes, and Golgi apparatus.

What is added to the 5' end of messenger RNA (mRNA) during transcription?

A cap consisting of a modified GTP (guanosine triphosphate) is added to the 5' end of mRNA during transcription.

What is added to the 3' end of messenger RNA (mRNA) during transcription?

<p>A poly(A) tail of 150 or more adenine nucleotides is added to the 3' end of mRNA during transcription.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the function of the 5' cap and the poly(A) tail in mRNA?

<p>The 5' cap is used as a recognition signal for ribosomes to bind to the mRNA, and the poly(A) tail plays a role in the stability of the mRNA and aids in the export of the mature mRNA to the cytoplasm.</p> Signup and view all the answers
