Protein Synthesis

In what process is mRNA made from DNA?

• Transcription

• Translation

• DNA Replication

• Mitosis

Where does TRANSCRIPTION occur?

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

• Cytoplasm

• Mitochondria

How many nucleotides are in one codon?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

On which molecule can an anticodon be found?

• mRNA

• DNA

• tRNA

• rRNA

What is the purpose for anti-codons?

• to ensure the correct amino acid is dropped off

• to match the strand of DNA

• to decode a sequence of 4 nucleotides into an amino acid

• to make me hate biology
