Question 1

Question
what are the stages of protein synthesis
Answer
  • translation
  • DNA replication
  • transcription
  • mutations

Question 2

Question
translation is the first stage of protein synthesis
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 3

Question
where does transcription occur?
Answer
  • cytoplasm
  • nuclues
  • ribosomes

Question 4

Question
what is the purpose of transcription?
Answer
  • the purpose is to for mRNA to transcribe the code for a protein and so the original DNA doesn't get damaged leaving the nuclues
  • the purpose is to use mRNA to make a protein, so it can be used for cellular functions

Question 5

Question
whats the steps of transcription?
Answer
  • free nucleotides pair up to the template strand using the complementary base pairing rule, except U replaces T, to form the mRNA strand
  • the ribosome moves along and reads the mRNA
  • the DNA strand unwinds and unzips
  • the mRNA leaves the nuclues
  • the tRNA match the codon

Question 6

Question
A three base sequence on DNA is called a codon
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 7

Question
where does translation occur?
Answer
  • nuclues
  • cytoplasm on the ribosomes

Question 8

Question
what is the purpose of translation?
Answer
  • the purpose to use mRNA to make a protein, so the protein can be used for cellular functions
  • the purpose is for the mRNA to transcribe the code and so the original DNA doesn't get damaged by leaving the nucleus

Question 9

Question
whats the three base sequence on mRNA called?
Answer
  • triplet
  • codon
  • anti-codon

Question 10

Question
whats the steps of translation?
Answer
  • the polypeptide chain folds up into a functional protein
  • the mRNA leaves the nuclues
  • the mRNA moves to the ribosome
  • the tRNA anti-codon matches the codon on mRNA using the complementary base pairing rule, except U replaces T
  • the ribosomes moves along and reads the mRNA
  • the codon codes for a specific amino acid, which the amino acids bond together by peptide bonds
  • the DNA splits to expose the template and coding strand

Question 11

Question
a three base sequence on tRNA is called anti-codon
Answer
  • True
  • False
