Protein Synthesis

mRNA contains anticodons and tRNA contains codons.

• True

• False

How can a mutation in the DNA sequence result in NO change to the protein that is made?

• There are multiple codons that can code for the same amino acid and result in the same protein

• There is always a change in the protein when a mutation occurs

• Only the mRNA is used in protein synthesis so a mutation in the DNA would have no effect on the protein

What is the correct order to make a protein?

• Protein --> DNA --> RNA

• RNA --> DNA --> Protein

• DNA --> RNA --> Protein

• Protein --> RNA --> DNA
