RNA and Transcription

What process happens during transcription?

• mRNA is made

• DNA replicates

• the cell divides into two daughter cells

• a protein is made

Where does transcription take place?

• Inside the nucleus

• Inside the cytoplasm

• Inside the ribosome

• Inside the Rough ER

During protein synthesis, a RNA strand is transcribed from one strand of DNA (CAG GGT TGA), what is the complementary RNA strand?

• UAG CUA CGA

• GUC CUU GAC

• GUC CCA ACU

• GTC CCA ACT

What happens to the mRNA sequence after it has been synthesized?

• stays in the nucleus

• leaves the nucleus

• leaves the cell

• breaks into smaller pieces

What is the three part "building block" of RNA?

• Amino Acids

• Nitrogenous Bases

• Enzymes

• Nucleotides
