Transcription/Translation

Where does transcription occur

• nucleus

• cytoplasm

• ribosome

• endoplasmic reticulum

Where does translation occur?

• nucleus

• golgi

• endoplasmic reticulum

• cytoplasm at the ribosome

During transcription:

• a DNA template is used to make DNA

• a DNA template is used to make mRNA

• mRNA is used to make a polypeptide/amino acid chain

• proteins are made

During translation:

• a DNA template is used to make DNA

• a DNA template is used to make mRNA

• mRNA is used to make an amino acid/polypeptide chain

• DNA is replicated

True or False: RNA is double stranded.

• True

• False

RNA does not contain which base?

• Adenine (A)

• Cytosine (C)

• Thymine (T)

• Uracil (U)

• Guanine (G)

True or False: To perform transcription, the DNA template strand is complementary base paired to the mRNA.

• True

• False

Amino acids are attached to the top of which type of RNA?

• tRNA (transfer RNA)

• mRNA (messenger RNA)

• rRNA (ribosomal RNA)

True or False: DNA is double stranded.

• True

• False

When using the genetic code, you look up sets of 3 bases on the mRNA which are called:

• anticodons

• codons

• base pairs

• amino acids
