Path of a Protein

Reorder

Reorder the following

• Parent DNA is unwound by helicase

• Primase tags the start site for DNA polymerase

• Polymerase begins adding complementary bases to parent strand

• Ligase glues fragments of new strands together

• 2 daughter cells form. Made from one original & one new strand

Multiple Choice

When these bond together, they form a protein

• Amino Acids

• Peptide Bonds

• Ribose

• Nucleotides

Multiple Choice

mRNA occurs during this process

• Translation

• Transcription

• Replication

• Delivery

Multiple Choice

What is the mRNA strand that would result from the DNA template strand CCTA?

• GGAT

• CCAT

• GGAU

• CCAU

Multiple Choice

The process where mRNA is read and made into an amino acid chain.

• Transcription

• Translation

• Transportation

• Transient

Multiple Choice

During translation, this type of RNA is responsible for transferring amino acids to help make a protein.

• mRNA

• rRNA

• tRNA

• dRNA

Multiple Choice

What is the three-base sequence of mRNA that codes for a single amino acid?

• Anticodon

• Codon

• Protein

Reorder

Reorder the following: What occurs first to last

• In the nucleus, DNA is used as a template to make mRNA

• mRNA leaves the nucleus & into the cytoplasm

• Once in the cytoplasm, a ribosome attaches to mRNA

• The ribosome reads the sequence of codons in mRNA

• tRNA bring amino acids to the ribosome in the correct sequence
