The process of using an mRNA to make a protein is called

• Replication
• Transcription
• Translation
• Cell Division

Transcription takes place in the 

• cytoplasm
• chloroplast
• nucleus
• mitochondria

STRUCTURE: One difference between RNA and DNA is -

• RNA has thymine where DNA has ademine

• DNA is single stranded where RNA is double stranded

• DNA is made in the nucleus where RNA is made in the ribosomes

• RNA is single stranded where DNA is double stranded

STRUCTURE: Which 2 molecules form the sides of the DNA ladder?

• deoxyribose and adenine

• deoxyribose and a hydrogen bond

• sugar and the nucleus

• deoxyribose (sugar) and phosphate

PROCESSES: DNA making RNA is called:

• Translation

• Transcription

• Transference

• Translocation
