Understand Protein Synthesis

The function of _____ is to transport amino acids in the cytoplasm to the ribosome.

• rRNA
• tRNA
• mRNA
• DNA

The process of going from DNA to mRNA is called

• Transcription
• Translation
• Transportation
• Transient

This is the triplet of bases on the end of a tRNA molecule

• Anticodon
• Codon
• Protein

The process where DNA is transcribed to mRNA happens in what part of the cell?

• Nucleus
• Mitochondria
• Cytoplasm
• Endoplasmic Reticulum

The function of ______ is to combine with proteins to form ribosomes.

• rRNA
• tRNA
• mRNA
• DNA

The process where mRNA is read and made into an amino acid chain.

• Transcription
• Translation
• Transportation
• Transient

How many amino acids are coded for by this sequence of nucleotides:
ATG GGA ACT CCA

• 4
• 2
• 6
• 12

In proteins, the amino acid order is determined by 

• nitrogenous bases in RNA
• random placement
• nitrogenous bases in DNA
• there is no order
