What is the term for a three-nucleotide sequence that codes for an amino acid?

• base

• codon

• amine

• serine

What brings the amino acids to the ribosome to assemble a protein?

• mRNA

• tRNA

• rRNA

• DNA

During transcription, this type of ribonucleic acid is responsible for copying the DNA and brining it out of the nucleus.

• tRNA

• mRNA

• rRNA

• dRNA

If there is an error in transcription, what could happen as a result?

• The nucleotides that make up the protein will change.

• The protein that is made will not be affected.

• New amino acids will be created to make a new protein.

• The protein that is made may have a different structure or function.
