Protein Synthesis Quiz

What is the initial step in protein synthesis where a DNA template is used to form mRNA?

• Translation

• Mutation

• Replication

• Transcription

Which molecule carries amino acids to the ribosome during translation?

• mRNA

• rRNA

• tRNA

• DNA

What signals the end of the elongation process during translation?

• Start codon

• Promoter

• Anticodon

• Stop codon

In eukaryotic cells, where does transcription occur?

• Mitochondria

• Cytoplasm

• Ribosome

• Nucleus

What is a key difference in protein synthesis between eukaryotes and prokaryotes?

• Eukaryotes do not use ribosomes

• Prokaryotes use a different genetic code

• Prokaryotes have compartmentalized transcription and translation

• Eukaryotes process mRNA before translation
