Where does transcription take place in a cell?

• Cytoplasm
• Nucleus
• Ribosome
• Mitochondria

Which type of RNA carries the message to the ribosome for protein synthesis?

• mRNA
• tRNA
• rRNA
• snRNA

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

• Building ribosomes
• Constructing DNA
• Carrying amino acids
• Transcribing RNA

How do tRNA molecules know which amino acids to bring during protein synthesis?

• By reading codons on mRNA
• By contacting the ribosome
• By using ribonucleases
• By forming peptide bonds

What does the codon AUG typically code for?

What indicates the end of protein synthesis during translation?

• Start codon
• Stop codon
• Anticodon
• mRNA

Why is editing of mRNA important during protein synthesis?

• To remove unnecessary bases
