Unit 8: Protein Synthesis Test Review

Front

What determines the arrangement of amino acids in a protein?

Back

The shape of a protein.

Front

What is the fourth step of protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes read the mRNA and hook on the correct amino acid.

Front

What does TAC transcribe and translate into?

Back

AUG, Methionine (START).

Front

What process involves making a copy of DNA?

Back

Replication.

Front

What does translation begin with and what does it form?

Back

Translation begins with mRNA and forms proteins.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes for protein synthesis.

Front

What are introns?

Back

Introns are non-coding regions of mRNA that are removed during RNA processing.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes read the sequence of mRNA and assemble amino acids into a polypeptide chain.

Front

What is transcription in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into mRNA.

Front

What is the significance of the start codon AUG?

Back

AUG is the start codon that signals the beginning of protein synthesis and codes for Methionine.
