Protein Synthesis Codon Chart

What is the function of the rRNA during protein synthesis?

• Read the mRNA code 3 nucleotides at a time.

• It carries the code from the nucleus to the ribosome

• It brings amino acids to the ribosome to be connected together to make the protein.

• it is the site where replication takes place.

What is the job of tRNA in protein synthesis?

• It is the blueprint of the genetic code
• it reads the mRNA
• it brings Amino Acids to the ribosome
• it is not involved in protein synthesis

Transcription takes place in the 

• cytoplasm
• chloroplast
• nucleus
• mitochondria

Translation takes place in the
