Protein Synthesis Quiz

What is the primary function of DNA related to protein synthesis?

• To provide energy to cell processes

• To serve as a template for RNA synthesis

• To protect the cell from viruses

• To assist in cell division

Where does the transcription process occur in a cell during protein synthesis?

• In the mitochondria

• In the ribosome

• In the cell nucleus

• In the cell membrane

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

• To replicate DNA

• To transport amino acids
