Amino Acids and Protein Synthesis

This video tutorial from Moomoomath explains the process of transcribing DNA to mRNA, then to tRNA, and finally translating it into amino acids. It covers the basic pairing rules of DNA bases, the role of mRNA and tRNA in protein synthesis, and how to use an mRNA chart to determine the resulting amino acids. The video concludes with a summary of the transcription and translation process and encourages viewers to subscribe for more educational content.

Which of the following bases is not found in DNA?

• Adenine

• Cytosine

• Uracil

• Thymine

In mRNA, which base pairs with adenine from DNA?

• Guanine

• Cytosine

• Uracil

• Thymine

What is the role of transfer RNA (tRNA) in protein synthesis?

• It catalyzes peptide bond formation.

• It forms the structure of ribosomes.

• It transcribes DNA into mRNA.

• It carries amino acids to the ribosome.

Which of the following is a correct pairing between mRNA and tRNA?

• C pairs with A

• G pairs with U

• A pairs with T

• A pairs with U

What does the mRNA codon AUG code for?

• Methionine

• Proline

• Thymine

• Leucine

Which amino acid is coded by the mRNA codon CCU?

• Proline

• Valine

• Glycine

• Leucine

What is the function of an amino acid chart in protein synthesis?

• It identifies the sequence of nucleotides.

• It translates mRNA codons into amino acids.

• It helps in DNA replication.

• It determines the structure of tRNA.
