• CAUGUA

• CUTGTU

Which anticodon would be placed in spot #2

• GGC

• CCA

• GGA

• GGT

What determines the shape and function of a protein?

• The type of ribosome that assembles the protein

• The cell that manufactures the protein

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

Which organelle is the location where protein is made?

• Ribosome

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

• Nucleotide

The main function of tRNA is to...

• carry a message that, when translated, forms proteins

• form a portion of ribosomes

• string together complementary RNA and DNA strands

• bring amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosomes
