Single strand
Uracil instead of thymine
3 types
6
Multiple Choice
In RNA, what base replaces Thymine?
Cytosine
Adenine
Uracil
Guanine
7
Multiple Choice
Determine the RNA sequence that compliments the DNA stranded:
TACGGT
TACGGT
AUGCCA
ATGCCA
UACGGU
8

9
Fill in the Blanks
Type answer...
10
rRNA
Ribosomal RNA
In cytoplasm
Reads mRNA (codons)
11
Multiple Choice
How does rRNA read the mRNA strand?
In single nucleotides
In codons
All at once
12
tRNA
Transfer RNA
In cytoplasm
Brings amino acids to rRNA
13
Multiple Select
Select all of the RNA types from the options below
mRNA
rRNA
pRNA
tRNA
cRNA
14
Protein Synthesis
2 Stages; Transcription & Translation
15
Transcription
Occurs in Nucleus
mRNA produced from DNA
mRNA leaves to cytoplasm
16
Fill in the Blanks
Type answer...
17
Multiple Choice
What is produced by transcription?
mRNA
rRNA
tRNA
DNA
18
Translation
Occurs in cytoplasm at a ribosome
rRNA attaches to mRNA
rRNA reads mRNA (codons)
tRNA brings amino acids
Amino acids bind making proteins
19
Multiple Choice
Where does translation occur?
In the cytoplasm
At a ribosome
In the cytoplasm at a ribosome
In the nucleus
20
Multiple Choice
What is produced by translation?
rRNA
mRNA
Proteins
Lipids
21
Multiple Select
Which types of RNA are used in translation? Select all correct options
DNA
mRNA
rRNA
tRNA
22
Codons
3 nucleotides on mRNA
rRNA reads codons
1 codon = 1 amino acid
Combination of codons makes unique protein
tRNA brings Amino acid based on codon
23
Multiple Choice
