Protein Synthesis AP Biology

How many nucleotides code for 1 amino acid?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

What determines the shape and function of a protein?

• The sequence of amino acids

• The type of ribosome that assembles the protein

• The cell that manufactures the protein

• True

• False

How can a mutation in the DNA sequence result in NO change to the protein that is made?

• There are multiple codons that can code for the same amino acid and result in the same protein

• There is always a change in the protein when a mutation occurs

• Only the mRNA is used in protein synthesis so a mutation in the DNA would have no effect on the protein

How are DNA and RNA different? (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY)

• Only DNA can leave the nucleus

• RNA contains Thymine; DNA contains Uracil

• DNA is double stranded, RNA is a single stranded

• DNA contains Thymine, RNA contains Uracil

What are the three parts of Protein Synthesis?

• Initiation, elongation, and termination

• Splicing, editing, and polyadenylation

• Transcription, processing, translation
