Transcription and Translation

Which process is used to make an mRNA copy of a DNA sequence?

• transcription
• translation
• replication 

Transcribe the DNA sequence TACGAA:

• AUGCUU
• ATGCTT
• GCATCC
• Met Leu

Where does transcription take place in eukaryotic cells?

• nucleus
• cytoplasm
• ribosome

How many amino acids are coded for by this sequence of nucleotides:
ATGGGAACTCCA

• 4
• 2
• 6
• 12

What does mRNA do?

• carry DNA out of the nucleus
• carry amino acids to ribosomes
• carry genetic info from the nucleus to ribosomes
• make up ribosomes

Which is a difference between DNA and RNA

• RNA is double stranded
• RNA is not made of nucleotides
• RNA contains Uracil instead of Thymine
• RNA does not contain a sugar

What amino acid is represented by the codon UUA?

• Phe

• Tyr

• Leu

• Stop codon

Which component of DNA has a specific sequence that makes up a gene?

• Nitrogen Bases (A, T, C, G's)

• Sugar-Phosphate Backbone

• Hydrogen bonds

Translation is the process when

• mRNA is created in the nucleus

• info from mRNA is read in order to build a protein

• DNA is replicated

• mRNA is turned into a protein

Translate the sequence TACGGTCATACT

• Met-Pro-Ala-Val
• Met-Pro-Val
• AUGCCAGUAUGA
• Tyr-Gly-Arg-His
