Protein Synthesis Quiz

What is the purpose of transcription in the process of turning DNA into a functional product?

• To create a complementary mRNA molecule from a gene

• To decode the mRNA's codons and assemble amino acids

• To read the DNA sequence and create a complementary molecule called mRNA

• To attach the ribosome to the mRNA molecule

Where does translation occur?

• Inside the nucleus of the cell

• In the cytoplasm, outside the nucleus

• On the surface of the DNA molecule

• In the fluid-filled space inside the ribosome

What is the main idea of the passage covered in the beginning of class?

• The process of transcription and translation allows cells to convert DNA into proteins. DNA contains the instructions that determine our unique traits and characteristics.

• Proteins are the building blocks of life and play essential roles in our bodies.

• Transcription involves creating a complementary mRNA molecule from a gene.

• DNA contains instructions for traits and characteristics.

What is the role of RNA polymerase in transcription?

• To create a complementary mRNA molecule from a gene

• To decode the mRNA's codons and assemble amino acids

• To read the DNA sequence and create a complementary molecule called mRNA

• To attach the ribosome to the mRNA molecule

What is the function of transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules in translation?

• To create a complementary mRNA molecule from a gene

• To decode the mRNA's codons and assemble amino acids

• To read the DNA sequence and create a complementary molecule called mRNA

• To attach the ribosome to the mRNA molecule

What is the significance of stop codons in protein synthesis?

• They create a complementary mRNA molecule from a gene

• They decode the mRNA's codons and assemble amino acids

• They read the DNA sequence and create a complementary molecule called mRNA

• They signal the end of protein synthesis
