Protein Synthesis

In what process is mRNA synthesized?

• Transcription

• Translation

• DNA Replication

• Mitosis

The mRNA leaves the ________ to find the ribosome to make proteins.

• cell
• nucleotide
• nucleus

Why must transcription occur in the nucleus?

• because DNA can't leave the nucleus

• because ribosomes are in the nucleus

• because DNA polymerase is found there

• because helicase unzips the DNA

Which organelle contains rRNA and reads the mRNA to synthesize a protein?

• Ribosome

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

• Nucleotide

Choose the sequence of the mRNA strand that would match up with to the following DNA strand:

GTACAT

• CATGTA

• GAUCUA

• CAUGUA

• CUTGTU
