Translation (H)

The anticodon of a particular tRNA molecule is 

• complementary to the corresponding mRNA codon.
• complementary to the corresponding triplet in rRNA.
• the part of tRNA that bonds with a specific amino acid.
• catalytic, making the tRNA a ribozyme.

What is the flow of genetic information in cells from DNA to protein? (Central Dogma)

• RNA to DNA to protein
• DNA to RNA to protein
• protein to DNA to RNA
• RNA to protein to DNA

The parts of a gene that do NOT code for amino acids in a protein are called

• introns
• exons
• codons
• anticodons

Translation occurs:

• Outside of the Nucleus
• Inside of the Nucleus

Translation is performed by:

• Ribosomes 
• Mitochondria
• Golgi Bodies
• Endoplasmic Reticulum 

The anticodon is located on 

• DNA
• mRNA
• tRNA
• rRNA

Which of the following events in translation is the first to occur in eukaryotes?

• elongation of the polypeptide
• base pairing of activated methionine-tRNA to AUG of the messenger RNA
• binding of the larger ribosomal subunit to smaller ribosomal subunits
• the small subunit of the ribosome recognizing and attaching to the 5'cap

Translation is crucial to the process of making proteins. Which statement best describes what takes place during translation? 

• A copy of chromosomal DNA is created 
• Information in mRNA is converted into a sequence of amino acids in a protein 
• A RNA copy of a DNA strand is made.
  
• Instructions from DNA in the nucleus are brought to the cytoplasm 

The image shows part of a polypeptide. What determines the order in which the amino acids are connected to each other in the polypeptide?

• the chemical structure of each R-group in the amino acid

• the order of the the nitrogenous bases in a gene

• the random nature of ribosome function

• the sequence of amino acids that make up the gene
