Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RNAi (RNA interference) is a type of RNA that can prevent protein synthesis by interfering with mRNA translation.

Answer: B 
 mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Answer: C 
 Interons (also known as introns) are non-coding sequences of RNA that are spliced out before mRNA leaves the nucleus.

Answer: H 
 tRNA (transfer RNA) carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Answer: J 
 Exons are the coding sequences of RNA that are translated into protein.

Answer: K 
 Proteasomes are protein complexes that break down damaged or unwanted proteins in the cell.

Answer: L 
 Telomeres are the repetitive DNA sequences at the end of chromosomes that protect them from degradation.

Answer: M 
 Centromeres are the regions of DNA that hold sister chromatids together during cell division.

Answer: N 
 Haploid cells have one set of chromosomes (n), while diploid cells have two sets (2n).

Answer: P 
 Transcription is the process of converting DNA into RNA by copying the gene sequence into a complementary RNA sequence.
