Protein Synthesis

2 Stages; Transcription & Translation

Transcription

• Occurs in Nucleus

• mRNA produced from DNA

• mRNA leaves to cytoplasm

Fill in the Blank

Where does transcription occur?

Multiple Choice

What is produced by transcription?

• mRNA

• rRNA

• tRNA

• DNA

Translation

• Occurs in cytoplasm at a ribosome

• rRNA attaches to mRNA

• rRNA reads mRNA (codons)

• tRNA brings amino acids

• Amino acids bind making proteins

Multiple Choice

Where does translation occur?

• In the cytoplasm

• At a ribosome

• In the cytoplasm at a ribosome

• In the nucleus

Multiple Choice

What is produced by translation?

• rRNA

• mRNA

• Proteins

• Lipids

Multiple Select

Which types of RNA are used in translation? Select all correct options

• DNA

• mRNA

• rRNA

• tRNA

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

Multiple Choice

What is a codon?
