In order for DNA instructions to move from the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm of a cell, an RNA copy of a DNA strand must be made. This process, which takes place in a cell's nucleus is called...

• translation

• mutation

• DNA replication

• transcription

Translation is the process where

• mRNA is created in the Nucleus
• mRNA is decoded to form a protein 
• glucose molecules are made
• is where lipids are synthesised

The anti-codon 

• contains a sequence the same as the codon
• contains a sequence complementary to the codon 
• contains the base thymine

tRNA is involved in

• carrying amino acids 
• carrying ribosomes
• carrying glucose
• carrying lipids

Amino acids are joined together in order to form

• DNA
• ribosomes
• proteins 
• RNA

Translation is crucial to the process of making proteins. Which statement best describes what takes place during translation? 

• A copy of chromosomal DNA is created 
• Information in mRNA is converted into a sequence of amino acids in a protein 
• A RNA copy of a DNA strand is made.
  
• Instructions from DNA in the nucleus are brought to the cytoplasm

Smaller segments of RNA nucleotides that transport amino acids to the ribosomes.

• mRNA
• tRNA
• rRNA
• DNA

After DNA is unzipped in the nucleus, this is the enzyme that binds to a specific section where an mRNA will be synthesized.

• RNA Polymerase
• DNA Polymerase

A sequence  of three nucleotides in a region of transfer RNA that recognizes a complementary coding triplet of nucleotides in messenger RNA during translation by the ribosomes in protein biosynthesis

• Codon
• Anticodon
