Protein Synthesis Game 1

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

• It binds with tRNA and mRNA to ensure accurate translation of amino acids.

• It carries the genetic information that is copied from DNA.

• It helps decode a messenger RNA sequence into a protein.

• It assists in the replication of DNA.

Which type of RNA helps decode a messenger RNA sequence into a protein?

• mRNA

• rRNA

• tRNA

• DNA

What is the function of rRNA in protein synthesis?

• It carries genetic information from DNA.

• It decodes mRNA sequences into proteins.

• It binds with tRNA and mRNA to ensure accurate translation of amino acids.

• It synthesizes new strands of DNA.

What is transcription in the context of molecular biology?

• The process by which a DNA strand is duplicated

• The process by which information is copied from DNA to mRNA

• The process by which mRNA is used to synthesize proteins

• The process by which proteins are broken down into amino acids

Where does transcription occur within a cell?

• In the mitochondria

• In the cytoplasm

• In the nucleus

• In the ribosome

What is the goal of transcription in gene expression?

• To duplicate a DNA sequence

• To make an RNA copy of a gene's DNA sequence

• To directly synthesize proteins from DNA

• To modify the DNA structure

What is the role of DNA in transcription?

• DNA acts as a template to make a protein directly.

• DNA leaves the nucleus to join with ribosomes in the cytoplasm.

• DNA acts as a template to make an RNA molecule.

• DNA modifies RNA after it is produced.

Where does the RNA molecule go after being synthesized in the nucleus?

• It stays within the nucleus to function.

• It goes to the ribosome in the cytoplasm.

• It attaches back to the DNA strand.

• It exits the cell to function elsewhere.

What process occurs immediately after transcription?

• Replication

• Translation

• Mitosis

• Photosynthesis

What is the second step of protein synthesis?

• Transcription

• Translation

• Replication

• Mutation
