• Amino Acids

• tRNA

• Gene

NGSS.HS-LS1-1

There are a total of ____ different amino acids

• 20

• 1

• 4

• unlimited

mRNA occurs during this process

• Translation

• Transcription

• Replication

• Delivery

This is the triplet of bases on the end of a tRNA molecule

• Anticodon
• Codon
• Protein

The process where DNA is transcribed to mRNA happens in what part of the cell?

• Nucleus
• Mitochondria
• Cytoplasm
• Endoplasmic Reticulum

What is the three base sequence of mRNA that codes for a single amino acid?

• Anticodon
• Codon
• Protein

What is the mRNA strand that would result from the DNA template strand CCTA?

• GGAT
• CCAT
• GGAU
• CCAU

How can a mutation in the DNA sequence result in NO change to the protein that is made?

• There are multiple codons that can code for the same amino acid and result in the same protein

• There is always a change in the protein when a mutation occurs

• Only the mRNA is used in protein synthesis so a mutation in the DNA would have no effect on the protein
