Protein Synthesis

Front

Protein synthesis occurs in two steps. What step is pictured?

Back

transcription

Front

Where does the process pictured below occur inside the cell? Options: nucleus, ribosome, chloroplast, mitochondria

Back

ribosome

Front

If there are only 20 different amino acids, how can there be so many different types of proteins?

Back

Each protein is determined by the sequence of amino acids.

Front

What is the function of mRNA?

Back

mRNA carries the copy of the DNA (gene) to the ribosome to be translated.

Front

Given the following DNA sequence, what would be the mRNA sequence? TAC GCA TAG GCC ATC

Back

AUG CGU AUC CGG UAG

Front

What is the function of RNA polymerase?

Back

RNA polymerase adds the RNA bases to the exposed DNA during transcription to produce mRNA.

Front

What sub-units are assembled to make proteins?

Back

amino acids

Front

Given the following mRNA sequence, determine the amino acid sequence: AUGGCACGGAAGCAGUGA

Back

Met-Ala-Arg-Lys-Gln-Stop

Front

What is the function of tRNA?

Back

tRNA brings the correct amino acid to the ribosome during translation.

Front

Where are anticodons located? Options: rRNA, mRNA, DNA, tRNA

Back

tRNA
