DNA, RNA & Protein Synthesis

A portion of mRNA is coded CUG. The corresponding DNA is coded

• GAC
• GTC
• CTG
• CAG

A portion of DNA reads GAG. The corresponding mRNA would be

• GUG
• GTG
• CTC
• CUC

DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase are similar in that they

• are both enzymes
• both are involved in making new polymers
• both can be found doing work in the cell nucleus
• all of these things are true

DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase are different in that they

• are involved in synthesis of different polymers
• DNA is a biological catalyst and RNA is not
• DNA polymerase synthesizes proteins and RNA polymerase synthesizes carbohydrates
• Stop trying to trick me; none of these are true!

The process of creating RNA using DNA as the template is

• translation
• transcription
• translocation
• Transylvania

In RNA, uracil takes the place of the DNA nitrogen base called

• guanine
• cytosine
• thymine
• adenine

The process shown in this image

• is called replication
• results in a new copy of the DNA
• does not happen during mitosis
• All of these apply

In eukaryotes, molecule 1 is found in

• ribosomes
• chloroplasts
• cytoplasm
• the nucleus

Molecule 3 is synthesized in 

• ribosomes
• chloroplasts
• the cell membrane
• the nucleus

DNA strands 1 and 2 are able to separate and rejoin easily due to

• the action of RNA polymerase 
• the nature of hydrogen bonds
• the presence of uracil
• Trick question! It is none of these.
