etAP Protein Synth Intro 1.14.26

The process by which the genetic code of DNA is copied into a strand of RNA is called

• translation
• transcription
• transformation
• replication

RNA has what base that is instead of thymine?

• guanine

• adenine

• thymine

• uracil

What enzyme does transcription use?

• DNA polymerase

• ligase

• RNA polymerase

• helicase

If one strand of DNA has the sequence TTACCG, the sequence of the other strand of the same molecule will be

• AATGGC
• TTACCG
• AACGGC
• AATGGG

Translation takes place in the 

• ribosome
• chloroplast
• nucleus
• mitochondria

Which phrase best describes translation?

• converts mRNA into a polypeptide
• 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

The job of tRNA is to

• carry amino acids to the ribisomes
• carry ribisomes to the ER
• carry glucose to mitochondria
• carry mRNA out of the nucleus
