DNA Translation Practice

What does mRNA do?

• provides information from DNA to ribosomes
• transfers amino acids to the ribosomes
• makes up ribosomes
• builds proteins

What does rRNA do?

• provides information from DNA to ribosomes
• transfers amino acids to the ribosomes
• makes up ribosomes
• builds proteins

What does tRNA do?

• provides information from DNA to ribosomes
• transfers amino acids to the ribosomes
• makes up ribosomes
• builds proteins

What is the correct sequence?

• RNA --> DNA --> Protein
• Protein --> RNA --> DNA
• DNA --> RNA --> Protein
• DNA --> Protein --> RNA
