Transcription / Translation

What is the type of sugar found in an RNA nucleotide?

• Deoxyribose

• Glucose

• Ribose

• Fructose

Where does translation take place within a cell? (Where are proteins made?)

• In the nucleus

• In the mitochondria

• In the ribosomes

• In the endoplasmic reticulum

Which molecule is involved in protein synthesis by carrying amino acids?

• mRNA

• rRNA

• tRNA

• DNA

Why does transcription take place in the nucleus of your cells?

• mRNA cannot leave the nucleus

• DNA cannot leave the nucleus

• rRNA cannot leave the nucleus

• tRNA cannot leave the nucleus

What does RNA stand for?

• Ribonucleic Acid

• Radical Nucleic Acid

• Ribose Nucleotide Acid

• Reactive Nitrogenous Acid

What is the role of RNA?

• It helps in the digestion of proteins.

• It uses coded DNA instructions to direct production of proteins.

• It is the master blueprint for cellular function.

• It acts as a storage molecule for genetic information.

How does RNA compare to DNA?

• RNA is the portable carbon copy, while DNA is the master blueprint.

• RNA is the master blueprint, while DNA is the portable carbon copy.

• RNA and DNA are both considered master blueprints.

• RNA is the primary genetic material, while DNA is secondary.

What is the purpose of messenger RNA (mRNA) in the process of transcription?

• To replicate DNA inside the nucleus

• To carry DNA's information to the ribosomes to make proteins

• To convert amino acids into proteins inside the nucleus

• To transport proteins from the ribosome to other parts of the cell

Where must the "reading" of DNA to make proteins take place?

• Inside the nucleus

• At the ribosome

• Within the mitochondria

• On the cell membrane

Why is transcription necessary in the process of protein synthesis?

• Because DNA cannot leave the nucleus and must be read to make proteins

• Because proteins are synthesized inside the nucleus

• Because mRNA needs to be replicated before protein synthesis

• Because ribosomes read the DNA directly to make proteins
