Ch14 RNA and Protein Synthesis

Process of copying a nucleotide sequence of DNA to form a complementary strand of mRNA

• Translation

• Transcription

• Replication

• Synthesis

Carries copies of DNA's genetic material from the nucleus to ribosomes in the cytoplasm.

• messenger RNA (mRNA)

• transfer RNA (tRNA)

• ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

• Ribosome

Brings amino acids to ribosomes during protein synthesis

• messenger RNA (mRNA)

• ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

• transfer RNA (tRNA)

• RNA Polymerase

Sequence of 3 consecutive nucleotides of mRNA that code for one amino acid

• Anti-codon

• Protein

• Bases

• Codon

Process by which mRNA is decoded and a protein is produced

• Transcription

• Translation

• Replication

• Synthesis

In RNA, the base Thymine is replaced with this base that will bond Adenine instead in RNA.

• Cytosine

• Guanine

• Uracil

• Ribose

Organelle that is the site of protein synthesis

• ribosomes

• Golgi body

• cell membrane

• chloroplasts

In what process is mRNA synthesized?

• Transcription

• Translation

• DNA Replication

• Mitosis

Which of the following are differences in the structure between RNA and DNA

• DNA uses deoxyribose sugar, RNA uses sugar ribose

• DNA pairs Adenine with Uracil, RNA pairs Adenine with Thymine

• DNA is a double helix, RNA is a single helix

• DNA pairs Adenine with Thymine, RNA pairs Adenine with Uracil

During translation, this type of ribonucleic acid is responsible for delivering amino acids to help make a protein.

• mRNA

• rRNA

• tRNA

• dRNA
