What brings the amino acids to the ribosome to assemble a protein?
DNA
How many nucleotides code for 1 amino acid?
1
2
3
4
What is the location in the cell for translation?
Cytoplasm
Nucleus
Lysosome
Golgi apparatus
Why must transcription occur in the nucleus?
because DNA can't leave the nucleus
because ribosomes are in the nucleus
because DNA polymerase is found there
because helicase unzips the DNA
