Toll's DNA Quiz

What is the process of DNA replication?

• The process of DNA replication involves the formation of RNA instead of DNA

• The process of DNA replication involves breaking the DNA double helix into 4 separate strands

• The process of DNA replication involves unwinding the DNA double helix, synthesis of new complementary strands, and proofreading and correction of errors.

• The process of DNA replication involves creating a single new strand of DNA

What is the role of DNA polymerase in DNA replication?

• It regulates the expression of genes

• It breaks down the existing DNA strands

• It synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides to the existing template strands.

  It is also the "proof-reader"

• It transports DNA to different parts of the cell

_____________ is the process of DNA duplicating itself.

• Replication

• Transcription

• Translation

• Protein Synthesis

What is the function of mRNA in transcription?

• mRNA is responsible for cell division

• mRNA helps in the production of ATP

• mRNA stores genetic information in the nucleus

• mRNA is the strand that carries the code from the nucleus to the ribosomes for protein synthesis
