What is the purpose of the process shown in the model?

• To replicate the DNA of an organism before cell division

• To assemble nucleotides in an mRNA chain along a DNA template

• To synthesize amino acids used to unzip strands of DNA and copy the genetic code

• To translate the genetic code into a specific sequence of amino acids

What is the purpose of this cellular process?

• Preserving genetic information for future generations

• Deleting the information in the sequence produced from the DNA template

• Transcribing information in the DNA sequence for use by the cell

• Producing more nucleotides for the DNA sequence

Translate the following RNA sequence:
AUG AAU UGU UGA

• Met-Phe-Cys-Stop

• Met-Asn-Cys-Stop

• Met-Asn-Cys-Trp

• Tyr-Leu-Thr-Thr

In eukaryotic cells, transcription cannot begin until 

• the two DNA strands have completely separated and exposed the promoter.

• several transcription factors have bound to the promoter.

• the 5' caps are removed from the mRNA.

• the DNA introns are removed from the template.

The anticodon of a particular tRNA molecule is 

• complementary to the corresponding mRNA codon.

• complementary to the corresponding triplet in rRNA.

• the part of tRNA that bonds with a specific amino acid.

• catalytic, making the tRNA a ribozyme.

What is the flow of genetic information in cells from DNA to protein? (Central Dogma)

• RNA to DNA to protein

• DNA to RNA to protein

• protein to DNA to RNA

• RNA to protein to DNA
