Lesson 5.1 DNA and RNA are Required to Make Proteins

A _______________ is three nucleotides that signal for a specific amino acid

• triplet codon

• translation

• base pair

• DNA

The process in which the information in mRNA is decoded to make a protein is called ______________.

• translation

• replication

• amino acid

• transcription

The part of the nucleotide that carries the code is the ___________.

• base

• amino acid

• replication

• DNA

The DNA is copied during the process of ____________.

• replication

• translation

• transcription

• triplet

A protein is made up of a particular sequence of ________________(s).

• amino acid

• RNA

• triplet

• protein

mRNA stand for ____________RNA

• messenger

• multiple

• many

• messy

mRNA is is synthesized or created during _______________.

• transcription

• replication

• photosynthesis

Uracil replaces what nucleotide base during transcription?

• thymine

• adenine

• cytosine

During transcription, this type of ribonucleic acid is responsible for copying the DNA and brining it out of the nucleus.

• tRNA

• mRNA

• rRNA

• dRNA

During translation, this type of ribonucleic acid is responsible for delivering amino acids to help make a protein.

• mRNA

• rRNA

• tRNA
