Protein Synthesis/Transcription

Which organelle is the location where protein is made?

• Ribosome

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

• Nucleotide

During transcription, this type of ribonucleic acid is responsible for copying the DNA and brining it out of the nucleus.

• tRNA

• mRNA

• rRNA

• dRNA

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

How are DNA and RNA different? (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY)

• Only DNA can leave the nucleus

• RNA contains Thymine; DNA contains Uracil

• DNA is double stranded, RNA is a single stranded

• DNA contains Thymine, RNA contains Uracil

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

GTACAT

• CATGTA

• GAUCUA

• CAUGUA

• CUTGTU

What brings the amino acids to the ribosome to assemble a protein?

• mRNA
• tRNA
• rRNA
• DNA
