What is the location in the cell for translation?

• Cytoplasm

• Nucleus

• Lysosome

• Golgi apparatus

Process of copying a nucleotide sequence of DNA to form a complementary strand of mRNA

• Translation

• Transcription

• Replication

• Synthesis

Carries copies of DNA's genetic material from the nucleus to ribosomes in the cytoplasm.

• messenger RNA (mRNA)

• transfer RNA (tRNA)

• ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

• Ribosome

In RNA, the base thymine is replaced with this base that will bond Adenine instead in RNA.

• Cytosine

• Guanine

• Uracil

• Ribose

Where is DNA made into RNA?

• Cytoplasm

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

• Cell Membrane

Set of three nucleotides in a tRNA molecule that binds to a complementary mRNA codon during translation

• Anti-codon

• Codon

• Amino acid

• Bases

Transfers and brings amino acids to ribosomes during protein synthesis

• messenger RNA (mRNA)

• ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

• transfer RNA (tRNA)

• RNA Polymerase

Sequence of 3 consecutive nucleotides that code for one amino acid

• Anti-codon

• Protein

• Bases

• Codon

Process by which mRNA is decoded and a protein is produced

• Transcription

• Translation

• Replication

• Synthesis
