What is the name of the process where a replicated strand of DNA is used as a template to create mRNA (messenger RNA)?

• Transcription

• Replication

• Translation

• Mutation

What is the name of the process where mRNA (messenger RNA) is used to make tRNA (transfer RNA)?

• Replication

• Translation

Match the following types of RNA with their function:

• matches amino acids to mRNA to help make proteins

• mRNA (messenger)

• used as a template to make proteins

• tRNA (transfer)

• make up ribosomes

• rRNA (ribosomal)

What happens during protein synthesis?

• mRNA serves as the code for tRNA to place amino acids in sequence.

• Genetic material is stored in the Nucleus.

• An RNA sequence of nucleotide bases code for specific amino acids.

• A DNA sequence of nucleotide bases code for specific amino acids.

What is a mutation?

• A change in sequencing that always has a positive (good) effect.

• A change in RNA sequencing.

• A change in sequencing that always has a harmful effect.

• A change in DNA sequencing.

Which is considered genetic material?

• DNA

• RNA

• Both

What causes mutations?

• Mistakes in replication or environmental substances

• The amino acids

• Passed down by genetics

• It's how your born
