Protein Synthesis

In what process is mRNA made?

• Transcription

• Translation

• DNA Replication

• Mitosis

Where does TRANSCRIPTION occur?

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

• Cytoplasm

• Mitochondria

Why must transcription occur where DNA can be found?

• because DNA can't leave, it's too big!

• because ribosomes are in the nucleus

• because DNA polymerase is found there

• because helicase unzips the DNA

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4
