Multiple Select

How is a protein produced? Select two answers.

Cellular respiration

Photosynthesis

Translation

DNA Replication

Transcription

1. Transcription

Multiple Choice

What process is happening in the diagram?

transcription

translation

DNA replication

mitosis

Multiple Choice

Where does transcription occur?

Nucleus

Ribosome

Mitochondria

Multiple Choice

What is the mRNA for the following DNA strand?

TAC GTA

GCT AGC

ATG CAT

AUG CAU

Multiple Choice

Transcribe the following DNA sequence to mRNA.

Transcribe the DNA strand below:

TAC ATT CGA AAA

AUG UAA GCU UUU

ATG TAA GCT TTT

AUG TAA GCT UUU

AUG UAA UCU UAG

Dropdown

After transcription, the mRNA travels out of the nucleus to the ________ in the cytoplasm.

2. Translation

Multiple Choice

What is the role of mRNA?

It carries an amino acid to the ribosome

It copies the instructions from DNA and carries them out of the nucleus

It makes up the ribosomes

Multiple Choice

The image above shows an amino acid attached to which type of molecule?

mRNA

rRNA

tRNA

Protein

Multiple Choice

What is an anticodon?

rRNA

an amino acid

Three nucleotide sequence found on mRNA that matches with a complementary tRNA triple codon

Three nucleotide sequence found on tRNA that matches with a complementary mRNA codon

Multiple Choice

Where does translation occur?

Nucleus

Ribosome

Chloroplast

Start Codon

The first tRNA molecule will always carry the amino acid methionine, since its codon is AUG

AUG is always a start codon

Therefore, all polypeptides will have a starting amino acid of methionine, though in come cases it is clipped off later.

Multiple Choice

What is the base sequence for a start codon?

AAG

UUG

UAG

AUG

Multiple Choice

What amino acid is represented by the codon UUA?

phenylalanine

leucine

isoleucine

tyrosine

Multiple Choice

What amino acid is represented by the codon UAG?

phenylalanine

tyrosine

proline

No amino acid is represented. UAG is a stop codon.

Multiple Choice

What is the end product of translation?

mRNA that can leave the nucleus

Protein

Monosaccharide

Anticodon
