RNA Translation

Which type of RNA is responsible for carrying information from the DNA in the nucleus out to the ribosome to make a protein?

• mRNA

• tRNA

• rRNA

Which type of RNA brings amino acids to the ribosome and “reads” the information in mRNA?

• mRNA

• tRNA

• rRNA

Each codon matches with an ____________ found on a tRNA molecule.

• DNA Molecule

• deoxyribose

• Anticodon

• helicase

How do the instructions for assembling proteins get from inside the nucleus to the cytoplasm?

• DNA is replicated and one copy leaves and goes to the cytoplasm

• mRNA carries the instructions from the nucleus to the cytoplasm

• Ribosomes already have the instructions

• The instructions never leave the nucleus

Which molecule is responsible for carrying the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome?

• tRNA

• mRNA

• rRNA

• DNA Polymerase

Describe the process of translation in terms of molecular interactions.

• tRNA molecules match their anticodons with codons on mRNA to add amino acids to the growing polypeptide chain.

• DNA directly synthesizes proteins without the need for mRNA.

• Proteins are synthesized directly from DNA in the nucleus.

• mRNA is replicated to form proteins.
