Protein Synthesis

What is the role of mRNA

• Carry an amino acid to the ribosome

• Copy the instructions from DNA and carry it out of the nucleus

• Make up the ribosomes

Where does Transcription occur

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

• ER

• Mitochondria

What is the mRNA for the following DNA strand?

TAC GTA

• GCT AGC

• ATG CAT

• AUG CAU

Where does Translation occur?

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

• ER

• Chloroplast

What is the end product of translation?

• mRNA that can leave the nucleus

• Amino acid chain

• monosaccharide chain

• Anticodon

What is an anticodon?

• rRNA

• an amino acid

• Three nucleotide sequence found on mRNA

• Three nucleotide sequence found on tRNA

What is true of RNA? (select all that apply)

• Single Strand

• Contains uracil

• Ribose Sugar

• Deoxyribose Sugar

During transcription, this type of ribonucleic acid is responsible for copying the DNA and brining it out of the nucleus.

• tRNA

• mRNA

• rRNA

• dRNA

These building blocks consist of a sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen base.

• Ribose

• Nucleotide

• Gene

• Protein

During translation, this type of ribonucleic acid is responsible for delivering amino acids to help make a protein.

• mRNA

• rRNA

• tRNA

• dRNA
