Protein Synthesis

In what process is mRNA synthesized?

• Transcription

• Translation

• DNA Replication

• Mitosis

Where does TRANSCRIPTION occur?

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

• Cytoplasm

• Mitochondria

Why must transcription occur where DNA can be found?

• because DNA can't leave

• because ribosomes are in the nucleus

• because DNA polymerase is found there

• because helicase unzips the DNA

A polypeptide is a sequence of ____________________ held together by a ______________ bond.

• amino acids; peptide

• fatty acids; ionic

• proteins; hydrogen

• fatty acids; covalent
