ATG GGA ACT CCA
When the mRNA sequence leaves the nucleus, what organelle does it travel to (what organelle makes proteins)?
mitochondria
smooth ER
ribosome
vacuole
What best explains the interaction between tRNA and mRNA during translation?
anticodons on the mRNA line up with complementary codons on the tRNA
anticodons on the tRNA line up with complementary codons on the mRNA
tRNA attach amino acids to the complementary mRNA sequence
mRNA attach amino acids to the complementary tRNA sequence

The image shows the production of petal color in a flower.
What can be concluded from the diagram?
DNA and a protein mix together to produce purple flowers.
Proteins stop the DNA from keeping the flower petals white.
DNA codes for a protein that makes pigments so the flower appears purple.
A pigment protein makes DNA, which causes the flower to appear purple.
Messenger RNA travels out of the nucleus to ribosomes
and is used as a template to assemble a protein.
