RNA and Protein Synthesis

What is the complementary RNA strand for this DNA: A G A T C G

• A G A T C G

• G C T A G A

• U C U A G C

• T C T A G C

The DNA sequence has the triplet G A T. What amino acid does it code for? (You will need to convert to RNA.)

• Leu

• Val

• Ala
• Arg

How many amino acids are in a protein?

• 3
• 1
• 20
• It can be any number

The process by which messenger RNA is made from DNA is called:

• replication
• translation
• transcription
• transduction

The process by which proteins are assembled (made) based on the mRNA code is called:

• replication
• translation
• transcription

Any change in DNA (genetic code) is called

• replication
• mutation
• translocation
• transcription

Unlike DNA, RNA is:

• a single strand
• a double strand
• has deoxyribose
• has phosphate

Where are proteins assembled in the cell?

• the nucleus
• the ribosome
• the DNA
• the mitochondria

A codon is responsible for the formation of:

• a complete protein
• a single amino acid
• a strand of DNA
• a messenger RNA

Which type of RNA is responsible for bringing amino acids to the growing protein chain?

• rRNA
• mRNA
• tRNA
• qRNA
