The main function of tRNA is to...

bring amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosomes

carry a message that, when translated, forms proteins

string together complementary RNA and DNA strands

_____________ and __________ are the components of ribosomes.

Microfilaments and microtubules

transported to other parts of the cell by the endoplasmic reticulum from ribosomes.

built in the nucleus by DNA and transported to the ribosomes

converted from nucleic acids to amino acids in the nucleolus

produced in the lysosomes and transported out of the cell by vacuoles

Translation of the DNA sequence AAGCTGGGA would result in

a sequence of three amino acids linked by peptide bonds

an mRNA strand with the sequence TTCGACCCT

an mRNA strand with the sequence UUGCACCCU

a DNA strand with the base sequence TTCGACCCT

Identify the correct sequence of molecules, as a gene goes from coded information in the nucleus, to the product the cell wants to make.

DNA -> messenger RNA -> transfer RNA -> protein

DNA -> transfer RNA -> messenger RNA -> protein

DNA -> transfer RNA -> protein -> messenger RNA

Protein -> messenger RNA -> transfer RNA -> DNA

Which statement best describes the composition and function of proteins in organisms?

long chains of amino acids used for building, repair, and maintenance

long chains of hydrocarbons used for digestion and respiration

sugars and starches that provide energy for metabolic processes

fats and oils which are well suited for long term energy storage

You are a world famous scientist who has discovered the gene that codes for a specific protein used to dissolve blood clots in humans. You are about to mass produce this gene for medical science. What must you know about this specific protein in order to begin gene production?

the nucleotide sequence of the human genome

the shape of the protein molecule

the amino acid sequence of the protein

Matthew and Bradley got into an argument. Matthew was convinced that the above picture was RNA, and Bradley was positive that it was DNA. Who is right and why?

Matthew was right because RNA is single-stranded while DNA is double-stranded

Both Matthew and Bradley were wrong as this is not DNA or RNA.

There is not enough information in the picture to conclude who was right.

Bradley was right because DNA is single-stranded while RNA is double-stranded

Scientists use DNA sequencing to understand relationships among life on Earth. The chart illustrates differences between five species and humans. Although the DNA sequence of each may vary, all BUT ONE statement concerning the organisms is true.

The DNA sequences may vary but the amino acid sequences are identical.

The same nitrogen bases are found in all six organisms.

The steps in proteins synthesis are identical in all six organisms.

The process of producing new DNA, or replication, is identical in each.
