DNA; Protein Synthesis Mutations

_________________ is the process of copying information from DNA onto mRNA that will later be used to make a protein.

• Translation

• Transcription

• Protein Synthesis

• Replication

The process of transcription occurs in the ______________.

• Ribosome

• Cytoplasm

• prokaryotic bacterial

• Nucleus

Choose all of the statements that are true about DNA.

• DNA is single stranded.

• DNA is found in the nucleus of Eukaryotic cells

• The 5 carbon sugar in DNA is Deoxyribose

• DNA has the nitrogenous bases adenine; Thymine; Guanine; Cytosine

DNA is double stranded and is too large to leave the nucleus.

• True

• False

mRNA gets information from DNA and carries it out of the nucleus to the ribosome where proteins are assembled. Every three bases on a strand of mRNA are called________.

• Amino Acid

• Anti Codon

• Codon

• None of the Above

The building blocks of proteins are called ________________.

Where does translation take place in the process of protein synthesis?

• Translation takes place in the nucleus.

• Tanslation is not part of protein synthesis

• Translation occurs in the ribosome.

• Translation occurs only when two persons speak two different languages.

Which of the following are true about RNA?

• RNA is single stranded

• RNA has Uracil but no Thymine

• RNA has important roles in making a protein

• RNA has the 5 carbon sugar Ribose.

On mRNA three nucleotide bases are called codons. What do the codons do or what is their role in the process of protein synthesis?

• Codons remain in the nucleus securing the genetic code and ensuring that protein synthesis will proceed uninterrupted.

• Codons leave the nucleus carrying the code for making proteins and go to the cells vacuole to store the genetic information.

• The codons found on mRNA are taken to the ribosome where the information is read and amino acids are fixed in a specific order creating a protein.

The tRNA or Transfer RNA is found in the cytoplasm of the cell and is complimentary to the codon that is found on mRNA. Transfer RNA bring amino acids to the ribosome to be assembled into a protein.

• TRUE

• FALSE
