What is the role of mRNA in the process?

• To carry genetic information from DNA to the ribosome

• To synthesize proteins directly

• To transport amino acids

Using your notes, what does transcription mean?

• The process of cell division

• The process of translating mRNA into protein

• The process of copying DNA into mRNA

Where does transcription take place?

• In the nucleus

• In the ribosome

• In the cytoplasm

• In the mitochondria

Where is the mRNA headed once it is out of the nucleus?

• To the lysosome

• To the mitochondria

• To the Golgi apparatus

• To the ribosome

Summarize the relationship between DNA and mRNA.

• mRNA is a copy of the DNA sequence used for protein synthesis

• mRNA destroys DNA

• mRNA is identical to DNA

• mRNA is unrelated to DNA

When DNA is transcribed to RNA.... 

• C pairs with U

• A pairs with U

• A pairs with T
