RNA from a bear is compared to RNA from a sunflower. Both will contain the ________________.

During DNA replication, a ______________ nitrogen base is complementary to a Adenine.

Put the following steps of protein synthesis in order: 1. Transfer RNA picks up individual amino acids and carries them to the ribosome. 2. An mRNA copy leaves the nucleus and goes to the ribosome. 3. A protein is made. 4. A single strand of DNA is copied to make mRNA.

Sections of DNA that serve as the blueprints/instructions for making proteins are called ____.

Nucleotides are the monomers for nucleic acids. They consist of a phosphate, a 5-carbon sugar and base. A nucleotide for DNA differs from a nucleotide for RNA because DNA has

DNA's shape is a double helix, with nucleotides forming the "twisted ladder" structure. Which components of the nucleotide form the specific parts of the ladder structure?

Label some of the parts in the process of protein synthesis.

Transcription aims to make an RNA copy of a gene's DNA sequence. How would the following strand of DNA be transcribed?

TAC-TAG-AGC-ATT

Which of the following is a characteristic of RNA but not DNA?

During translation, which molecule is responsible for bringing the correct amino acid to the ribosome?

The reverse codon found on the tRNA.

Three nucleotide bases that code for the end

of a strand of protein.

A nucleotide base that takes the place of Thymine in RNA.

Assembling proteins via instructions from DNA.

Use the codon chart to translate the following mRNA:
