• Acting as enzymes

Where does transcription occur within a cell?

• Cytoplasm

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

• Carries amino acids

• Forms the ribosomes

• Transfers genetic information from DNA

• Provides energy for the process

What does the 'm' in mRNA stand for?

• Transport proteins out of the cell

• Synthesize proteins by reading mRNA

• Copy DNA into RNA

What molecule carries amino acids to the ribosome during translation?

• tRNA

• rRNA

• DNA

• mRNA
