IB Biology DNA Replication and Protein Synthesis HL

What is the location in the cell for translation?

• nucleus

• mitochondria in cytoplasm

• ribosome in cytoplasm

• chloroplast in cytoplasm

What is the three base sequence of mRNA that codes for a single amino acid?

• Anticodon

• Codon

• Protein

What is the location in the cell for transcription?

• nucleus

• cytoplasm

• ribosome

• mitochondria

Translation is the process where

• mRNA is created in the Nucleus

• mRNA is decoded to form a protein 

• glucose molecules are made

• is where lipids are synthesised

Does the order of amino acids in a protein matter?

• YES!

• NO!
