RNA and Protein Synthesis

Learning Objectives

SW review DNA replication

SW learn the base-pairing rules for RNA

Multiple Choice

The rules of DNA pairing states that Adenine (A) always pairs up with

Thymine

Cytosine

Adenine

Guanine

Multiple Choice

The rules of DNA pairing states that Cytosine (C) always pairs up with

Thymine

Cytosine

Adenine

Guanine

Multiple Choice

Which sequence of DNA bases would pair with this partial strand
CAT TCA CTG

ATG TGA CAG

TAC ACT GTC

GTA AGT GAC

CAT TCA CTG

Multiple Choice

Name this structure

double helix

nucelotide

twisted ladder

hydrogen bond

Multiple Choice

Replicate the following strand of DNA:

AATCATGGA

TTAGTACCT

UUAGUACCU

GGATAUCUA

Multiple Choice

Replicate the following strand of DNA:

AATCATGGA

TTAGTACCT

UUAGUACCU

GGATAUCUA

Transcription

This is the process of reading DNA to create mRNA

RNA bases

RNA has four bases: Cytosine (C), Guanine (G), Adenine (A), and Uracil (U)

Unlike DNA, RNA does not have a Thymine - it has a Uracil instead!

A=U

G=C

Transcription

The process of transcription: DNA (Green) and mRNA (Red)

DNA: ATA GCA TAT

mRNA: UAU CGU AUA

Multiple Choice

Which RNA bases would pair with CCG TAA in transcription?

AUG CUU

GGC AUU

GCU ACC

GCA ATT

Multiple Choice

How would the DNA sequence GCTATA be transcribed to mRNA?

GCUAUA

CGATAT

CGAUAU
