Unit 8: Protein Synthesis

In a biology class, Noah is studying about RNA. He learns that in RNA, Uracil pairs with ______. Can you help Evelyn and Maya tell him the correct answer?

• cytosine

• adenine

• guanine

• thymine

In a biology class, Ethan is learning about the process that cells use to go from DNA to mRNA. Luna suggests it's called 'translation', Anika thinks it's 'transcription', and Ethan believes it's 'replication'. What is the correct term for this process?

• translation

• transcription

• replication

In a biology class, Benjamin was learning about the process that cells use to go from mRNA to a protein. He learned this process is called _____.

• transcription

• rRNA

• replication

• translation

Isla, Ava, and Kai are studying biology and they come across an RNA strand with the following nucleotide sequence: GTAGTCA. They are asked to find the complementary sequence. Which of the following options would they choose?

• UATUAGA

• ACGACTG

• CAUCAGU

• CATCAGT

Elijah is studying biology and he learned that the main function of tRNA in a cell is similar to a worker in a factory. Can you guess what it is?

• It's like a messenger carrying a message that, when translated, forms the blueprint for the products

• It's like a builder forming a portion of the factory infrastructure

• It's like a translator stringing together complementary instructions and plans

• It's like a delivery person bringing raw materials (amino acids) from the storage area (cytoplasm) to the production line (ribosomes)

In a biology class, Anika, Luna, and Sophia are studying about amino acids. They came across a codon UUA. Which amino acid do you think this codon represents?

• Phenylalanine

• Tyrosine

• Leucine

• Stop codon
