DNA, RNA, and Protein Synthesis

Which of the following displays the correct order of DNA replication? 
1.  Sugar and phosphate groups form the side of each new strand
2. DNA unzips
3.  The bases attach from a supply in the cytoplasm
4. DNA unwinds

• 4-2-3-1
• 2-4-1-3
• 2-4-3-1
• 4-2-1-3

A segment of DNA that codes for a protein is called a...

• Enzyme
• Mutation
• Gene
• Complimentary

Which shows the correct complementary base pairing for DNA?

• C-A, T-G
• A-G, C-T
• C-G, U-A
• T-A, G-C

The process of making RNA (i.e. mRNA) from DNA is called

• Replication
• Transcription
• Translation
• Protein synthesis

Specific proteins produced in a cell are directly related to the 

• number of mitochondria in the cell
• types of ribosomes in the cell
• sequence of sugars and phosphates in the cell
• sequence of nucleotides in the DNA

Where does Translation take place?

• RNA
• ribosome
• nucleus
• chromosome

What is the relationship between a protein, the cell, and DNA?

• DNA is produced by protein which is produced in the cell
• Protein is composed of DNA which is produced in the cell
• DNA controls the production of protein in the cell
• A cell is composed of DNA and protein

DNA codes for...

• cholesterol
• proteins
• fatty acids
• a sandwich

What are the 4 nitrogen bases?

• adenine, thymine, cytoplasm, and guanine
• adenine, thymine cytosine, and guanine
• adenine, thymine, cytosine, and gylcerol
• adenine, thymine, cytosine, and glucose

Why is DNA important?

• it is very small and very complicated
• it's in everything
• it serves as the blueprint for traits of all living things
• because we eat it every day for energy
