DNA Transcription and Translation Concepts

What type of RNA carries the DNA message out of the nucleus to the ribosomes?

• mRNA
• tRNA
• RNA
• DNA

What do we call the process of turning DNA into mRNA?

• Translation
• Transcription 
• Replication

When DNA is transcribed to RNA.... 

• A pairs with U
• C pairs with U
• A pairs with T
• C pairs with T

When the RNA gets to the ribosomes, which molecule transfers to the mRNA to amino acids?

• DNA
• mRNA
• tRNA
• Replicated RNA

Amino acids are the building blocks of... 

• DNA
• RNA
• Atoms
• Proteins

What is a Codon?

• 4 base pairs that transfer to amino acids
• 3 base pairs that transfer to amino acids
• 3 base pairs that transfer to DNA
• 3 base pairs that transfer to mRNA

When transferring tRNA to amino acids, the process cannot begin until it reaches a...

• Beginning codon
• Start codon 
• Initiator codon
• Anticodon

The process of transferring the codons to the amino acids ends with what codon?

• Stop
• Terminal
• End
• Cancel
