protein synthesis

Where does translation in protein synthesis occur?

• In the mitochondria

• In the nucleus

• In the cytoplasm

• In the Golgi apparatus

What is the role of tRNA during translation?

• To carry genetic information

• To synthesize ribosomes

• To bring specific amino acids to the ribosome

• To replicate DNA

What is a codon?

• A sequence of three DNA bases

• A sequence of three mRNA bases

• A sequence of three tRNA bases

• A sequence of three protein bases

What is the function of ribosomes in translation?

• To transport proteins

• To catalyze the formation of peptide bonds

• To transcribe RNA

• To replicate DNA

What pairs with the mRNA codon during translation?

• A DNA triplet

• A ribosome

• An amino acid
