Genetics, Protein Synthesis, and Mutations

DNA is copied during a process called ______________ which results in an identical copy of itself.

• Photosynthesis
• Transcription
• Replication
• Translation

DNA replication results in two DNA molecules,

• each with two new strands.
• each with one new strand and one original strand.
• each with two original strands.
• one with two new strands and the other with two original strands.

What is produced during transcription?

• Protein
• tRNA
• mRNA
• DNA

In RNA, Uracil pairs with ______. 

• cytosine
• adenine
• guanine
• thymine

The process to go from mRNA to a protein is called ____

• rRNA
• replication
• translation

Choose the nucleotide sequence of the RNA strand that would be complementary to the following strand:
