What feature distinguishes a eukaryotic cell from other cell types?

• Presence of a cell wall

• Presence of a nuclear envelope

• Lack of a nucleus

• Single-stranded DNA

What is the process called when DNA is copied into mRNA?

• Translation

• Replication

• Translocation

• Transcription

Where does mRNA go after it is transcribed in the nucleus?

• It enters the mitochondria

• It is degraded immediately

• It stays in the nucleus

• It moves to the ribosome

What role does the ribosome play in protein synthesis?

• It degrades mRNA

• It translates mRNA into polypeptides

• It transcribes DNA into mRNA

• It replicates DNA

What is the final product of the translation process?

• mRNA

• DNA

• Polypeptide

• Nucleus
