Protein Synthesis

In what process is mRNA synthesized?

• Transcription

• Translation

• DNA Replication

• Mitosis

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

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

• mRNA
• tRNA
• rRNA
• DNA

When these bond together, they form a protein

• Amino Acids

• Peptide Bonds

• Ribose

• Nucleotides

• DNA replication

• translation

How can a mutation in the DNA sequence result in NO change to the protein that is made?

• There are multiple codons that can code for the same amino acid and result in the same protein

• There is always a change in the protein when a mutation occurs

• Only the mRNA is used in protein synthesis so a mutation in the DNA would have no effect on the protein

True or False: mRNA contains anticodons and tRNA contains codons.

• True

• False

What determines the shape and function of a protein?

• The sequence of amino acids

• The type of ribosome that assembles the protein

• The cell that manufactures the protein
