The Process of Protein Synthesis

What is the first step in decoding a cell's genetic information?

• Transcription

• Translation

• Replication

• Mutation

Which of the following RNA molecules carries coding sequences for protein synthesis?

• Messenger RNA (mRNA)

• Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

• Transfer RNA (tRNA)

• Small nuclear RNA (snRNA)

What is the role of tRNA during protein synthesis?

• It carries amino acids to ribosomes

• It forms the core of ribosomes

• It carries coding sequences for protein synthesis

• It catalyzes the formation of RNA molecules

Which nucleotide is found in RNA but not in DNA?

• Uracil (U)

• Thymine (T)

• Adenine (A)

• Cytosine (C)

What signals the end of translation during protein synthesis?

• A stop codon

• A start codon

• The AUG codon

• The release of initiation factors
