RNA Makes Proteins-Mastery Ticket

Brings the amino acids to the ribosome

• mRNA
• tRNA
• rRNA
• DNA

Translation takes place in the 

• ribosome
• chloroplast
• nucleus
• mitochondria

What is the term for a three-nucleotide sequence that codes for an amino acid?

• base
• codon
• amine
• serine

Which phrase best describes translation?

• converts mRNA into a polypeptide
• catalyzes bonds between amino acids
• produces RNA from DNA molecules
• recycles tRNA molecules for reuse

Which phase of which process does this picture show?

• Transcription
• Translation
• Replication

The job of tRNA is to

• carry amino acids to the ribisomes
• carry ribisomes to the ER
• carry glucose to mitochondria
• carry mRNA out of the nucleus

The codon is located on the 

• DNA
• mRNA
• tRNA
• rRNA

Which of the following occurs first in translation?

• The small ribosomal subunit binds to mRNA
• The large ribosomal subunit binds to mRNA
• tRNA binds to the mRNA
• A peptide bond forms between amino acids
