Protein Synthesis

What is the process that copies the code from DNA to mRNA?

• transcription

• translation

• replication

The process of transcription takes place in the

• nucleus

• cytoplasm

The 5 carbon sugar found in DNA nucleotides is

• codon

• deoxyribose

• ribose

• anticodon

Each 3 nucleotide sequence is called a(n)

• codon

• adenine

• guanine

• cytosine

The process of changing the sequence on the mRNA to an amino acid chain takes place in the

• nucleus

• cytoplasm

Nucleotides that make up RNA contain the nitrogen bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, and

• thymine

• uracil

In RNA, cytosine pairs with

• guanine

• thymine

• uracil

• adenine

The information contained in a molecule of mRNA is used to make proteins during the process of

• transcription

• translation

Nucleotide sequences of tRNA that are complementary to codons on mRNA are called

• codon

• anticodon

In RNA, uracil is complementary to

• adenine

• thymine

• guanine

• cytosine
