Unit 8 Vocabulary:DNA, RNA andProtein Synthesis

The process of creating RNA using DNA as the template is

• translation
• transcription
• translocation
• Transylvania

There are 3 types of RNA. What are they? (Select all that apply)

• tRNA

• rRNA

• mRNA

• xRNA

In DNA the base T is replaced with

• U

• G

• C

• A

the sequence of 3 nucleotides that code for amino acids.

• codon 
• anti-codon

A sequence of three bases of a tRNA molecule that pairs with the complementary three-nucleotide codon of an mRNA molecule during protein synthesis.
