AP Bio: Protein Synthesis

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

How many nucleotides code for each amino acid?

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 64

What happens in RNA processing and where does it occur?

• 5' cap and 3' poly A tail added, in nucleus
• 3' cap and 5' poly A tail added, in cytoplasm
• introns cut out and exons reattached, nucleus
• introns cut out and exons reattached, cytoplasm

What is an exon?

• section of mRNA that codes for protein
• section of mRNA that does not code for protein
• section of tRNA that codes for protein
• section of rRNA that codes for protein

Where are anticodons found?

• on mRNA
• on DNA
• on rRNA
• on tRNA

Where is the TATA box found?

• in the promoter sequence of prokaryotes
• in the terminator sequence of prokaryotes
• in the promoter sequence of eukaryotes
• in the terminator sequence of eukaryotes

What process is going on in this photo?

Transcription begins at sequences called

• Start Codons
• Promoters
• Origins
• Introns

Protein synthesis takes place in two parts:

• Transcription then translation
• Replication then transcription
• Translation then transcription
• Replication then translation
