Transcription and Translation

What do we call the process of turning DNA into mRNA?

• Translation
• Transcription 
• Replication

One difference between DNA and RNA is that RNA....

• is double stranded 
• contains the base Thymine
• contains the base Uracil 
• contained the base Guanine

The anti-codon 

• contains a sequence the same as the codon
• contains a sequence complementary to the codon 
• contains the base thymine

Transcribe the following piece of DNA:
ATCGTA

• UAGCAU
• TAGCAT
• ATCGTA
• AUCGUA

Amino acids are joined together in order to form

• DNA
• ribosomes
• proteins 
• RNA

Which amino acid is made from the RNA codon UUA?

• Phenylalanine
• Leucine
• Serine
• Tyrosine

The process of making RNA (i.e. mRNA) from DNA is called

• Replication
• Transcription
• Translation
• Protein synthesis

What is the correct sequence?

• RNA --> DNA --> Protein
• Protein --> RNA --> DNA
• DNA --> RNA --> Protein
• DNA --> Protein --> RNA
