Choose the sequence of the mRNA strand that would match up with to the following DNA strand:

GTACAT

• CATGTA

• GAUCUA

• CAUGUA

• CUTGTU

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

mRNA contains anticodons and tRNA contains codons.

• 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

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

Which phrase best describes translation?

• converts mRNA into a polypeptide

• catalyzes bonds between amino acids

• produces RNA from DNA molecules

• recycles tRNA molecules for reuse
