Translation

Translation takes place in the 

• ribosome
• chloroplast
• nucleus
• mitochondria

Brings the amino acids to the ribosome

• mRNA
• tRNA
• rRNA
• DNA

What would be the tRNA anticodon for the mRNA codon CAG?

• GTC
• GUC
• CUG
• CAG

What is the term for a three-nucleotide sequence found on mRNA that codes for an amino acid?

• base

• codon

• amine

• serine

Which phrase best describes translation?

• converts mRNA into a polypeptide (protein)

• catalyzes bonds between amino acids

• produces RNA from DNA molecules

• recycles tRNA molecules for reuse

What type of bonds are forming during translation?

• Peptide bonds
• Hydrogen bonds
• Acid bonds

How many amino acids are coded for by this sequence of nucleotides:
ATG GGA ACT CCA

• 4
• 2
• 6
• 12

The codon is located on the 

• DNA
• mRNA
• tRNA
• rRNA

What would be the tRNA anticodon for the mRNA codon CAG?

• GTC
• GUC
• CUG
• CAG

What would happen if we did not have start codons?

• Polypeptide chains would continue to grow
• Amino acids would bind to tRNA
• Protein synthesis wouldn't occur
• mRNA would form a double strand
