• Yes

• No

Which of the following is true about TRANSCRIPTION?

• Transcription makes mRNA from a DNA template and happens in the nucleus.

• Transcription makes amino acids from a DNA template and happens in the nucleus.

• Transcription makes mRNA from an amino acid template and happens in the ribosome.

• Transcription makes amino acids from an mRNA template and happens in the ribosome.

Which of the following is true about TRANSLATION?

• Translation makes mRNA from a DNA template and happens in the nucleus.

• Translation makes amino acids from a DNA template and happens in the nucleus.

• Translation makes mRNA from an amino acid template and happens in the ribosome.

• Translation makes amino acids from an mRNA template and happens in the ribosome.

Which of the following correctly compares DNA and RNA?

• DNA has a ribose sugar while RNA has deoxyribose sugar

• RNA uses uracil (U) while DNA uses thymine (T)

• DNA is single-stranded while RNA is double-stranded

• RNA is found only in the nucleus while DNA moves around the cell

How are amino acids and proteins related to each other?

• Amino acids are the mRNA code that is translated to make proteins

• Proteins are much smaller than amino acids

• Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins

• Proteins are the template that amino acids are built upon
