Protein Synthesis Practice

What are the two main steps of protein synthesis?

• Transcription and Translation

• Replication and Transcription

• Translation and Replication

• Replication and Duplication

In the process of transcription, what is produced from the DNA template?

• mRNA

• tRNA

• Amino acids

• Proteins

During translation, which molecule carries the amino acids to the ribosome?

• tRNA

• mRNA

• DNA

• rRNA

What is the role of the ribosome during protein synthesis?

• To assemble amino acids into proteins

• To transcribe DNA into mRNA

• To replicate DNA

• To transport mRNA out of the nucleus

Which of the following sequences represents a correct mRNA sequence transcribed from the DNA sequence TAC GCT TTC?

• AUG CGA AAG

• UAC GCU UUC

• TAC GCT TTC

• AUG GCU UUC

What is the purpose of DNA replication?

• To make two identical copies of DNA

• To produce mRNA from DNA

• To synthesize proteins from mRNA

• To convert DNA into amino acids

Where in the cell does transcription occur?

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

• Ribosome

• Mitochondria
