Protein Synthesis

The process of using the RNA code to make a protein is called:

• transcription

• translation

• replication

• metabolism

Transcription occurs:

• in the nucleus

• in the cytoplasm

• in the mitochondria

• in Memorial gym

In what process is tRNA made?

• transcription

• translation

• replication

• transcription and translation

What is the purple circle in the image?

• mRNA

• amino acid

• rRNA

• tRNA

An anticodon is found on the --- and a codon is found on the ---

• m RNA, mRNA

• tRNA, tRNA

• mRNA, tRNA

• tRNA, mRNA

If you have a protein strand made up of 20 amino acids, you know that the gene had --- nucleotides.

• 10

• 20

• 60

• 5

What is the start codon that is used in the synthesis of every protein?

• CCG

• TAC

• UAC

• AUG

RNA polymerase is an enzyme that is used by the cell to:

• make more DNA

• make protein

• make RNA

• help the RNA leave the nucleus

What is the job of tRNA?

• to carry the appropriate amino acid

• to break weak hydrogen bonds

• to add RNA nucleotides one at a time

• to combine rRNA and protein to make ribosomes

In protein synthesis, the complementary base to uracil is:

• thymine

• guanine

• adenine

• cytosine
