Set the Pace with Transcription and Translation

What is the complementary mRNA sequence for this DNA gene: TAC GAC AAT? (Remember, you are making RNA!)

• ACT CGT TTG

• ATG CTG TTA

• AUG CUG UUA

• all of the above

In order for DNA instructions to move from the nucleus to the ribosomes, an RNA copy of the DNA code must be made. This process of making mRNA from DNA is called

• translation

• mutation

• DNA replication

• transcription

Amino acids are joined together in order to form

• DNA
• ribosomes
• proteins 
• RNA

Translation is crucial to the process of making proteins. Which statement best describes what takes place during translation? 

• A copy of chromosomal DNA is created 
• Information in mRNA is converted into a sequence of amino acids in a protein 
• A RNA copy of a DNA strand is made.
  
• Instructions from DNA in the nucleus are brought to the cytoplasm

which process is shown?

• replication

• transcription

This mRNA AUC AGC GCU GGC will be translated. How many amino acids are coded for by this sequence (none of them are stop codons) ?

• 4

• 8

• 12

• 20

What is the function of mRNA?

• storage of food

• prevents mutations

• provides energy

• carries DNA's genetic code

What is occurring in this picture?

• Translation

• DNA Replication

• mitosis

• Transcription

Sometimes during DNA replication, an incorrect base is mistakenly substituted for the correct one. This error in the DNA code is called a substitution __________________.

• Mutation

• Frameshift

• Cross over

• Translocation

True or false:  RNA is double-stranded.

• true
• false
• it depends on the type
