How many letters are used at a time with the codon chart?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

Can DNA be directly used in a codon chart?

• Yes

• No

• Sometimes

• Only in specific cases

Where does transcription take place in the cell?

• Cytoplasm

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

• Mitochondria

Where does translation occur in the cell?

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

Explain why DNA cannot be directly used in a codon chart.

• DNA is too large to fit in the chart.

• DNA contains thymine instead of uracil.

• DNA is not single-stranded.

• DNA is not involved in protein synthesis.
