Protein Synthesis

In what process is mRNA synthesized (made)?

• Transcription

• Translation

• DNA Replication

• Mitosis

The mRNA leaves the ________ to find the ribosome to make proteins.

• cell
• nucleotide
• nucleus

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

What is the name of the enzyme that makes the mRNA

• tRNA

• amino acidase

• RNA polymerase

• ribosome
