DNA/Protein Synthesis Review

During the process of protein synthesis, a section of the DNA molecule is copied into which other molecule?

• Nucleic Acid
• Cytoplasmic DNA
• Messenger RNA
• Transfer RNA

In messenger RNA, each codon specifies a particular:

• Nucleotide
• Purine
• Amino Acid
• Pyrimidine

Any change in genetic sequence (DNA) that affects the genetic information is referred to as a mutation.

• True
• False

Type of mutation that takes place when a codon is changed but both code for the same amino acid:

• Silent mutation
• Transition mutation
• transversion
• deletion

Are all mutations bad?

• Yes
• No
