• DNA

Which type of nucleic acid is responsible for carrying amino acids and matching them to the codons?

• Messenger RNA (mRNA)

• Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

• Transfer RNA (tRNA)

• DNA

The word "synthesis" means "to make". Where in a cell is RNA synthesized?

• Ribosome

• Cytoplasm

• Vacuole

• Nucleus

What process uses segments of DNA to produce complementary RNA molecules?

• Transformation

• Transcription

• Translation

• Replication

One difference between DNA and RNA is that....

• Only RNA has the base Uracil
• only RNA contains the base Thymine
• only RNA contains the base Cytocine
• only RNA contained the base Guanine

In order for DNA instructions to move from the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm of a cell, an RNA copy of a DNA strand must be made. This process, which takes place in the cell nucleus, is called

• translation
• mutation
• DNA replication
• transcription

What is occurring in this picture?

• Translation
• Replication
• Translocation
• Transcription

The process represented in the diagram produces a molecule that is complementary to the template strand of DNA. What type of molecule is produced?

• New DNA
• Polypeptide
• Messenger RNA
• Carbohydrate

what does mRNA do?

• carry info from genes to ribosomes
• carry amino acids to ribosomes
• help with RNA splicing
• make up ribosomes
