Living Environment: DNA RNA and Engineering

What is the term for making RNA from DNA?

• translation

• transcription

• genetic engineering

• transduction

What does transfer RNA (tRNA) do?

• transfers DNA outside the nucleus

• transfer amino acids to make a protein

• transfers vitamins

• separates RNA

How does a mutation change a protein?

• a mutation in DNA ALWAYS changes a protein

• a mutation in DNA MIGHT changes a protein

• mutations do not occur in DNA

• mutations can NEVER create the correct protein
