Unit 10 Protein Synthesis Review

A sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base form the building blocks of which organic compound?

• carbohydrates
• nucleic acids
• lipids
• proteins

Which of the following is the template for the production of RNA within a cell?

• DNA
• protein
• ATO
• carbohydrate

which process is shown?

• diffusion
• repiration
• recombination
• translation

Consider the following sentence: "The dog did not eat." Which of the following variations of this sentence is most like a reading frame mutation?

• The dog did dog not eat
• The did not eat
• The did dog not eat
• The dod idn ote at

When an extra base is inserted into the DNA sequence of a gene, the protein doesn't work. Which explains why?

• the base increases rate of translation
• the base causes DNA to be transcribed in opposite direction
• the inserted base causes the codons in the sequence to be incorrect for the desired protein
• the base signals enzymes to translate DNA rather than RNA

The genetic material of an organism is composed of

• lipids
• proteins
• deoxyribonucleic acids
• complex carbohydrates

Protein synthesis takes place in two parts:

• Transcription then translation
• Replication then transcription
• Translation then transcription
• Replication then translation

Consider the following sentence: "The dog did not eat." Which of the following variations of this sentence is most like a base substitution mutation?

• The dog dog did not eat
• The doe did not eat
• The did dig not eat
• The dog did not et

The codon is located on the 

• DNA
• mRNA
• tRNA
• rRNA

• 4
• 8
• 12
• 20
