Amoeba Sisters Protein Synthesis

What are three ways that DNA & RNA differ?

• DNA has thymine, RNA has uracil

• Both are a nucleic acid

• The sugar in DNA is deoxyribose, the sugar in RNA is ribose

• DNA is a double helix, RNA is a single strand

A sketch of an ________________ helps you remember mRNA.

• envelope

• iphone

• box

• binder

• ribosome, t, amino acids

• ribosome, r, amino acids

• ribosome, r, nucleotides

Protein synthesis is a _____ step stool.

• 2

• 4

• 1

• 3

Which one comes first, translation or transcription?

• both happen at the same time

• translation

• transcription

During transcription, an enzyme called ___________ __________________ will connect complementary RNA bases to DNA bases.

• RNA polymerase

• DNA polymerase

• helicase

• ligase

The bases in DNA/RNA are read in _________. This is refereed to as a __________.

• tres, codons,

• threes, codons,

• triplets, codon.

• quintuplets, codon

During translation. the ribosome (rRNA) is finally receiving the message that DNA sent to mRNA and is

• building a necklace called a protein from the beads called amino acids which are brought by rRNA

• building a necklace called a protein from the beads called amino acids which are brought by tRNA

• building a necklace called a protein from the beads called amino acids which are brought by mRNA

At the end of protein synthesis, DNA's genes are finally

• expressed!

• not the right answer
