Transcription and Translation

Chunks of three bases on the mRNA that code for a specific amino acids are called...

• Codons
• Snodocs
• Docons
• Nocods

In eukaryotes, where does transcription occur?

• Nucleus
• Cytoplasm
• Outside of the cell
• Eukaryotes don't do transcription

What is one easy way to tell RNA from DNA?

• RNA has uracil, DNA doesn't
• DNA doesn't have thymine, RNA does
