| (T or F) The central dogma of biology, or the mechanism of reading and expressing genes in all living things, can bge expressed as follows: DNA --- RNA --- proteins. | True |
| (T or F)The process of the synthesis of mRNA from DNA is call translation. | False, transcribtion |
| One the ____ is synthesized, it leaves the nucleus and enters the _________. | mRNA, cytoplasm |
| The 5' end of the mRNA connects to the ________, where the code is read and translated to make a(n) _______ in a process called ___________. | Ribosome, protein, translation |
| In translation, ____ interprets the mRNA codon sequence. | tRNA |
| Once the mRna is associated with the ribosome, a tRNA with the __________ CAU wil bind to the mRNA ___________ AUG. | Anti codon, start codon |
| DNA is unzipped in the nucleus. | mRNA |
| RNA polymerase moves down the ____ DNA strand as the DNA unwinds. | Template |
