Biology Quiz on Transcription and Translation

What is the central dogma of Biology?

• DNA is transcribed into RNA which is translated into proteins

• RNA is transcribed into DNA which is translated into proteins

• Proteins are transcribed into RNA which is translated into DNA

• DNA is translated into RNA which is transcribed into proteins

What is transcription?

• Is conversion of DNA into RNA

• Is conversion of RNA into DNA

• Is conversion of protein into RNA

• Is conversion of DNA into protein

What is translation?

• RNA is converted to protein

• DNA is converted to RNA

• Protein is converted to DNA

• RNA is converted to DNA

Where does transcription take place in the cell?

• In the nucleus

• In the cytoplasm

• At the ribosome

• In the mitochondria

Where does translation take place in the cell?

• In the cytoplasm at the ribosome

• In the nucleus

• In the mitochondria

• In the Golgi apparatus

What is one of the main differences between Eukaryotic and prokaryotic transcription and translation?

• Eukaryotic mRNA is pre-mRNA before it can be translated. Prokaryotic mRNA can be translated right away

• Prokaryotic mRNA is pre-mRNA before it can be translated. Eukaryotic mRNA can be translated right away

• Eukaryotic mRNA is translated in the nucleus. Prokaryotic mRNA is translated in the cytoplasm

• Prokaryotic mRNA is translated in the nucleus. Eukaryotic mRNA is translated in the cytoplasm

mRNA is ______ and its role in translation is ______.

• Messenger RNA; RNA that codes for proteins (sends the message)

• Messenger RNA; RNA that transfers amino acids

• Ribosomal RNA; RNA that codes for proteins

• Transfer RNA; RNA that combines with proteins

tRNA is involved in translation. What is its role?

• Transfer RNA; transfers the amino acid from the p site to the a site to grow the polypeptide chain

• Transfer RNA; transfers the amino acid from the a site to the p site to grow the polypeptide chain

• Messenger RNA; transfers the amino acid from the p site to the a site to grow the polypeptide chain

• Ribosomal RNA; transfers the amino acid from the p site to the a site to grow the polypeptide chain

rRNA is responsible for what role in translation?

• Ribosomal RNA; it combines to allow for translation to happen

• Ribosomal RNA; it transfers amino acids

• Messenger RNA; it combines to allow for translation to happen

• Transfer RNA; it combines to allow for translation to happen

What does the promoter region of transcription do?

• It allows for RNA polymerase to bind to it

• It allows for DNA polymerase to bind to it

• It allows for ribosomes to bind to it

• It allows for tRNA to bind to it
