Which of the following are the bases for RNA?
adenine, uracil, thymine, and guanine
adenine, uracil, guanine, and cytosine
adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine
adenine, uracil, thymine, and cytosine
26
Explanation Slide...
The correct statement about RNA is that it is usually single stranded and contains the base uracil.
27
Multiple Choice
Which statement is true about RNA?
RNA is usually single stranded and contains the base uracil
RNA is usually double stranded and contains the base thymine
RNA is made in the nucleus and stays there to carry out its function
All of the above are true.
28
Multiple Choice
Where does transcription take place?
nucleus
cytoplasm
ribosome
29
Explanation Slide...
Transcription takes place in the nucleus, where the DNA is transcribed into RNA before it is sent to the cytoplasm for translation.
30
Multiple Choice
What is occurring in this picture?
Translation
Replication
Translocation
Transcription
31
Explanation Slide...
The correct answer is Transcription, which is the process of creating an RNA copy of a segment of DNA.
32
Multiple Choice
What does mRNA do?
provides information from DNA to ribosomes
transfers amino acids to the ribosomes
makes up ribosomes
builds proteins
33
Explanation Slide...
mRNA provides information from DNA to ribosomes, which is its primary function in protein synthesis.
34
Multiple Choice

Multiple Choice
Selective breeding is...
a process to create an organism with desired traits from parents with those desired traits
natural method of producing offspring with desired traits
creating a new species
making organisms reproduce during times of stress
54
Multiple Choice
An example of selective breeding is
a dog breeder mating 2 dogs to make more dogs
a farmer grows bees to pollinate the plants on his farm
a person pollinates 2 white rose plants to only create white roses
55
Multiple Choice
1. The process of choosing parent organisms for desired characteristics is called
natural selection
Artificial selection
random selection
genetic manipulation
56
Multiple Choice
Artificial selection is also known as
natural selection
selective hearing
genetic manipulation
selective breeding
57
Multiple Choice
Artificial Selection is
a new concept
discovered by Darwin and used ever since
used for thousands of years
a 19th century concept

Poll
My understanding of the learning goal: I can understand and explain that every organism requires a set of instructions that specifies its traits, and that this hereditary information(DNA) contains genes located in the chromosomes of each cell, and that heredity is the passage of these instructions from one generation to the another.
Level 1: I do not understand. I need to attend tutoring and redo the quizizz at home.
Level 2: I understand a little but need more practice. I need to redo the quizizz at home and attend tutoring.
Level 3: I understand the material and I am confident that I will do well on my quiz or assessment.
Level 4: I can teach it.
