NGSS.HS-LS3-2

The synthesis of an RNA molecule complementary to a section of DNA on a chromosome is called ____.

• Transcription

• RNA processing

• Translation

• Central dogma

This term refers to the addition or removal of particular RNA nucleotides in the newly

synthesized RNA transcript. Processing of mRNA specifically involves addition of a 5’ cap

and a poly-A tail, and the removal of introns (“splicing”)

• Transcription

• RNA processing

• Translation

• Central dogma

the synthesis of a protein by a ribosome, using mRNA to specifiy the order of amino acids

• Transcription

• RNA processing

• Translation

• Central dogma

states that genes on chromosomes specify the nucleotide sequence of RNAs, and mRNAs in turn specify the amino acid sequence of proteins; this is also called “gene expression”

• Transcription

• RNA processing

• Translation

• Central dogma
