Protein Synthesis Practice

The process to go from DNA to mRNA is _______

• translation

• transcription

• replication

• synthesis

The process to go from mRNA to a protein is called ____

• transcription

• synthesis

• replication

• translation

Choose the nucleotide sequence of the RNA strand that would be complementary to the following strand:

GTA GTC

• UAT UAG

• ACG ACT

• CAU CAG

• CAT CAG

The main function of tRNA is to...

• carry a message that, when translated, forms proteins

• form a portion of ribosomes

• string together complementary RNA and DNA strands

• bring amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosomes

What amino acid is represented by the codon UUA? (Use colored chart)

• Phenylalanine

• Tyrosine

• Leucine

• Stop codon
