Bio 100 Genes to Proteins Mid Term 2

In eukaryotes, processing of pre-mRNA to mRNA includes:

• removal of introns from pre-mRNA

• the synthesis of a protein on a ribosome

• the physical location of a gene on a chromosome

• the amino acid sequence of a protein

• synthesizing RNA in the nucleus

The process of translation is:

• removal of introns from pre-mRNA

• the synthesis of a protein on a ribosome

• the physical location of a gene on a chromosome

• the amino acid sequence of a protein

• synthesizing RNA in the nucleus

The locus is:

• removal of introns from pre-mRNA

• the synthesis of a protein on a ribosome

• the physical location of a gene on a chromosome

• the amino acid sequence of a protein

• synthesizing RNA in the nucleus

A gene specifies:

• removal of introns from pre-mRNA

• the synthesis of a protein on a ribosome

• the physical location of a gene on a chromosome

• the amino acid sequence of a protein

• synthesizing RNA in the nucleus

RNA polymerase is responsible for

• removal of introns from pre-mRNA

• the synthesis of a protein on a ribosome

• the physical location of a gene on a chromosome

• the amino acid sequence of a protein

• synthesizing RNA in the nucleus

A codon is:

• three nucleotides that specify an amino acid

• there are approximately three times as many nucleotides as amino acids

• the cytosol

• the nucleus

Thinking question: Approximately, how does the number of amino acids in a protein compare to the number of nucleotides in the gene that specifies that protein?

• three nucleotides that specify an amino acid

• there are approximately three times as many nucleotides as amino acids

• the cytosol

• the nucleus

The amino acid pool used in translation is found in:

• three nucleotides that specify an amino acid

• there are approximately three times as many nucleotides as amino acids

• the cytosol

• the nucleus

Individual small and large ribosomal subunits are assembled:

• three nucleotides that specify an amino acid

• there are approximately three times as many nucleotides as amino acids

• the cytosol

• the nucleus

Anti-codons are found:

• on tRNA

• the synthesis of RNA that is complementary to DNA

• rRNA and specific proteins

• mRNA codons
