protein synthesis

In what process is mRNA synthesized?

• Transcription

• Translation

• DNA Replication

• Mitosis

Where does TRANSCRIPTION occur?

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

• Cytoplasm

• Mitochondria

Why must transcription occur where DNA can be found?

• because DNA can't leave

• because ribosomes are in the nucleus

• because DNA polymerase is found there

• because helicase unzips the DNA

• 2

• 3

• 4

How many nucleotides equal 1 amino acid?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

Which organelle is the location where protein is made?

• Ribosome

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

• Nucleotide

When these bond together, they form a protein

• Amino Acids

• Ribose

• Nucleotides

How many base pairs would be needed to chain together 3 amino acids?

• 3
• 6
• 9
• 12

Does the order of amino acids in a protein matter?
