During transcription, a sequence of ​ (a)   is copied onto a strand of ​ (b)   so that it can leave the ​ (c)   to find a ​ (d)   .

• DNA
• mRNA
• nucleus
• ribosome

During translation, the code from ​ (a)   is read by the ​ (b)   and translated into a sequence of ​ (c)   .

• mRNA
• ribosome
• amino acids

What is the job of tRNA?

• Carry amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis
• Facilitate cell division
• Store genetic information
• Transcribe DNA into RNA

Determine the correct order of the amino acid sequence to be produced from the DNA template:

3' CCG TCT AAG GTG ACC CTT 5'

• Valine - Threonine - Lysine - Serine - Proline - Glutamic Acid

• Glycine - Valine - Lysine - Serine - Proline - Alanine

• Proline - Serine - Lysine - Threonine - Valine - Stop

• Glycine - Arginine - Phenylalanine - Histidine - Tryptophan - Glutamic Acid

Match the type of mutation with its definition:

• Substitution

• when one nucleotide is switched for a different one in the DNA sequence

• Deletion

• when one nucleotide is removed from the DNA sequence

• Insertion

• when one nucleotide is added into the DNA sequence
