What do you call the set of 3 nitrogenous bases on mRNA?

• codon

• peptide bond

• amino acid

Which nitrogenous base is not found on RNA?

• thymine

• uracil

• adenine

• cytosine

• guanine

What is the process in which DNA template is copied onto mRNA?

• transcription

• translation

Where does transcription occur?

• nucleus

• ribosome

• lysosome

• cell membrane

What is the set of 3 nitrogenous bases found on tRNA that is used to match base pairs with mRNA codons?

• codon

• anticodon

What happens to DNA during transcription

• it leaves the nucleus so mRNA can copy it

• it fully unzips and replicates itself, forming new DNA

• it unzips so mRNA can copy its template and then it zips back up

• it enters the ribosome to be copied

DNA helicase, is an example of a ______________________, that splits or cleaves DNA.

• restriction enzyme

• stop codon

• anticodon

• polymerase

What type of RNA is used during transcription and transports the DNA template from the nucleus to the ribosome?

• messenger RNA or mRNA

• transfer RNA or tRNA

• ribosomal RNA or rRNA
