Role of Nucleic Acids and Protein Synthesis

Protein Synthesis Review/Alleles

Welcome to Science!!!!!!!!!!

Let's begin with a warm up!

Multiple Choice

The process where the cell uses information in the genetic code to assemble proteins is called...

• photosynthesis

• meiosis

• protein synthesis

• heredity

Multiple Choice

A single-stranded nucleic acid that plays important roles in protein synthesis...

• DNA

• RNA

• nucleic acids

• nucleotides

Multiple Choice

The role of this type of RNA is to copy the genetic information from the DNA and carry it outside of the nucleus.

• Messenger RNA (mRNA)

• Transfer RNA (tRNA)

Multiple Choice

The role of this type of RNA is to pick up amino acids in the cytoplasm, bring them to the ribosome, and assemble them into a protein.

• Messenger RNA (mRNA)

• Transfer RNA (tRNA)

Multiple Choice

What are the two steps to protein synthesis?

• Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

• Meiosis and Mitosis

• Transcription and Translation

• Heredity and Genetics

Awesome! That wraps up the warm up and introduction, so let's head back to the flipcharts.

• dominant allele

• recessive allele

Multiple Choice

A gene form that is expressed only when two copies are present.

• dominant allele

• recessive allele
