DAY 110: Protein Synthesis Concepts

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

• base
• codon
• amine
• serine

Where is mRNA made?

• vacuole

• lysosome

• nucleus

• ribosome

Where are proteins made?

• vacuole

• lysosome

• nucleus

• ribosome

Which of the following is created in the nucleus and carries the genetic code to the cytoplasm?

• DNA
• tRNA
• mRNA
• rRNA

DNA holds the code for

• lipids
• carbohydrates
• protein
• sugar

The main function of tRNA is to...

• carry a message that, when translated, forms proteins
• form a portion of ribosomes
• string together complementary RNA and DNA strands
• bring amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosomes

Which component of DNA determines the traits of an organism? 

• Nitrogen Bases
• Sugar-Phosphate Backbone
• Hydrogen bonds

Does the order of amino acids in a protein matter?

• YES!
• NO!

When these bond together, they form a protein

• Amino Acids

• Peptide Bonds

• Ribose

• Nucleotides

These building blocks consist of a sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen base.

• Ribose

• Nucleotide

• Gene

• Protein
