DNA Translation Practice

Front

What is the correct sequence of protein synthesis?

Back

B. DNA molecules serve as the templates for mRNA. C. mRNA molecules move to ribosomes. A. tRNA brings amino acids to the ribosome. D. Polypeptides are formed on ribosomes.

Front

What part of a nucleotide accounts for the genetic variation between individuals?

Back

Nitrogenous base.

Front

Which phase of which process does this picture show?

Back

Translation.

Front

What enzyme transcribes DNA into mRNA?

Back

RNA polymerase.

Front

Amino acids are joined together in order to form what?

Back

Proteins.

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the coded mRNA message.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in translation?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where amino acids are assembled into proteins.

Front

What is mRNA and its role in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying DNA to mRNA, while translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.

Front

What are the three main types of RNA involved in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA), and rRNA (ribosomal RNA).
