Transcription and Translation Practice

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

Which RNA bases would pair with TACGAA in transcription? 

• AUGCUU

• ATGCTT

• GCATCC

• GCAUCC

Where does transcription occur in eukaryotic cells?

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

• Cytoplasm

• Rough E.R.

RNA polymerase moves in which direction along the DNA?

• 5' to 3' 

• 3' to 5' along the template strand

• 3' to 5' along nontemplate(coding) strand

• 5' to 3' along the template strand

The parts of a gene that do NOT code for amino acids in a protein are called

• introns

• exons

• codons

• anticodons

The production of mature mRNA in eukaryotes involves

• cutting introns out and spicing exons together

• adding the 5' cap

• adding the 3' poly A tail

• all of these are correct

Translation is performed by:

• Ribosomes 

• Mitochondria

• Golgi Bodies

• Endoplasmic Reticulum
