AP Biology Translation

Which process is shown?

• diffusion

• repiration

• recombination

• translation

What is the sequence of nucleotides on mRNA read in triplets called?

• anticodon

• codon

• triplet box

• wobble

What is the function of the poly-A tail in mRNA?

• to add modified guanin to the 3' end of the mRNA

• to indicate the site of translational termination

• to code for the binding of RNA polymerase to the DNA

• to help protect the mRNA from degradation by hydrolytic enzymes

Smaller segments of RNA nucleotides that transport amino acids to the ribosomes.

• mRNA

• tRNA

• rRNA

• DNA

Translation is crucial to the process of making proteins. Which statement best describes what takes place during translation?

• A copy of chromosomal DNA is created 

• Information in mRNA is converted into a sequence of amino acids in a protein 

• A RNA copy of a DNA strand is made.
  

• Instructions from DNA in the nucleus are brought to the cytoplasm

How do the three types of RNA work together?

• mRNA carries message, tRNA carries amino acids, and rRNA makes ribosome

• mRNA makes ribosomes, tRNA carries amino acids, and rRNA relays information

• mRNA carries amino acids, tRNA transfer message, and rRNA makes ribosome

• mRNA is made, tRNA holds the DNA in place, and rRNA removes the deoxyribose

Where does translation take place in prokaryotes & eukaryotes?

• Prokaryotes - cytosol; Eukaryotes - cytosol or nucleus

• Prokaryotes - cytosol or rough ER; Eukaryotes - cytosol

• Prokaryotes - cytosol; Eukaryotes - cytosol or rough ER

• Prokaryotes - cytosol or nucleus; Eukaryotes - cytosol
