Protein Synthesis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Proteins are made up of | amino acids |
| During transcription | RNA is produced |
| In translation, which of these is responsible for forming a peptide bond? | ribosome |
| At the very beginning of translation, the first tRNA molecule | binds to the mRNA's start codon |
| In order to produce all the protein that a cell needs, transcription takes place | on a gene segment over and over again |
| What is the name for the portion of the DNA that codes for a specific protein? | gene |
| What is a codon? | three-nucleotide sequence that codes for an amino acid |
| Which of the following statements is not correct concerning DNA and RNA? | Both RNA and DNA are double-stranded molecules |
| RNA differs from DNA in that RNA..... | contains the nitrogen base uracil |
| example of a change in DNA that would cause a frame shift mutation? | adding or taking away nucleotides |
| What specific role do ribosomes play in the production of protein? | translate genetic information from messenger to function proteins |
| After replication, how do the nucleotide sequences in both DNA molecules compare with each other? | they are the same |
| Scientist analyzing a molecule finds that it contains a uracil nitrogen base. Is the molecule DNA or RNA? | RNA |
| What can happen if there is one wrong amino acid in a protein? | Protein will not work as the structure would be changed. |
