Mutations Notes

Multiple Choice

Before we start on Mutations, we need to practice:

Describe the process of TRANSCRIPTION:

• DNA to DNA

• DNA to RNA

• RNA to Amino Acids (Protein)

• DNA to RNA to Amino Acids (Protein)

Multiple Choice

TRANSCRIBE this DNA into mRNA:

TAC GCG ATA

• AUC GCG UAU

• AUG CGC UAU

• ATG CGC TAT

• AUG CGC TAT

Multiple Choice

Where does TRANSCRIPTION HAPPEN?

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

Multiple Choice

After Transcription, comes Translation.

Describe the process of Translation:

• DNA to DNA

• DNA to RNA

• RNA to Amino Acids (Protein)

• DNA to RNA to Amino Acids (Protein)

Multiple Choice

Use your codon chart to TRANSLATE this mRNA into an amino acid sequence:

AUG GCA UAC

• Met-Asp- Tyr

• Met-Ala- STOP

• Met-Asp-Tyr

• Met- Ala- Tyr

Multiple Choice

Where does TRANSLATION HAPPEN?

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

Multiple Choice

Which described the entire process of PROTEIN SYNTHESIS?

• DNA to DNA

• DNA to RNA

• RNA to Amino Acids (Protein)

• DNA to RNA to Amino Acids (Protein)
