- Q1What is the function of mRNA in protein synthesis?mRNA provides energy for protein synthesismRNA acts as a catalyst in chemical reactionsmRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosomemRNA folds proteins into their functional shapes30s
- Q2Which organelle is known as the site of protein synthesis?NucleusGolgi apparatusMitochondriaRibosome30s
- Q3During which process is the information in mRNA used to make a protein?TranslationReplicationTranscriptionMutation30s
- Q4What are the building blocks of proteins?Amino acidsNucleotidesMonosaccharidesFatty acids30s
- Q5What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?tRNA joins amino acids togethertRNA synthesizes the mRNA strandtRNA brings amino acids to the ribosometRNA stores the genetic information30s
- Q6Which sequence of nucleotides on the mRNA is recognized by tRNA during translation?CodonPromoterAnticodonExon30s
- Q7What do we call the process of creating an mRNA strand from a DNA template?TranslationReplicationDuplicationTranscription30s
- Q8What type of RNA is primarily responsible for carrying genetic information from the nucleus to the ribosome?hnRNArRNAtRNAmRNA30s
- Q9Which of the following events occurs first in protein synthesis?Transcription of DNA to mRNAAmino acid assembly at ribosomeBinding of tRNA to mRNAFormation of the polypeptide chain30s
- Q10What is the role of the ribosome in protein synthesis?The ribosome breaks down proteins into amino acidsThe ribosome transcribes DNA into RNAThe ribosome assembles amino acids into proteinsThe ribosome transports RNA to the nucleus30s
- Q11Which type of RNA is responsible for bringing amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis?mRNArRNAsnRNAtRNA30s
- Q12What is the sequence of three nucleotides on mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid called?AnticodonGeneCodonTriplet30s
- Q13What do codons consist of in the genetic code?Four nucleotidesFive nucleotidesTwo nucleotidesThree nucleotides30s
- Q14What is the purpose of a codon chart?To determine the sequence of nucleotides in DNATo translate mRNA sequences into amino acidsTo transcribe DNA into RNATo replicate DNA sequences30s
- Q15What is the significance of stop codons in the genetic code?They signal the end of protein synthesisThey indicate the start of DNA replicationThey are part of the tRNA structureThey begin mRNA transcription30s
