Exploring the Mechanisms of Viral Function

What is the primary function of DNA in the nucleus?

• To provide structural support

• To code for proteins

• To transport molecules

• To store energy

Which nucleotide is not found in RNA?

• Adenine

• Thymine

• Guanine

• Cytosine

What is the role of RNA polymerase?

• To replicate DNA

• To synthesize RNA

• To unwind DNA

• To transport RNA

What is the term used for the process of converting DNA information into RNA?

• Translocation

• Replication

• Translation

• Transcription

What is the main difference between transcription and translation?

• Transcription uses ribosomes, while translation uses RNA polymerase

• Transcription involves DNA, while translation involves RNA

• Transcription occurs in the cytoplasm, while translation occurs in the nucleus

• Transcription converts nucleotides to nucleotides, while translation converts nucleotides to amino acids

What molecule is responsible for bringing amino acids to the ribosome during translation?

• mRNA

• tRNA

• DNA

• rRNA

What is the chemical composition of amino acids?

• NNN

• NNC

• CCC

• NCC

What happens if an amino acid in a protein is changed?

• The protein may not function correctly

• The protein will become stronger

• The protein will dissolve

• The protein will replicate

Where can proteins be embedded in the cell?

• In the cytoplasm

• In the nucleus

• In the cell membrane

• In the mitochondria

What is the primary goal of a virus when it infects a cell?

• To replicate itself

• To produce antibodies

• To provide energy to the cell

• To repair the cell
