DNA, RNA & Protein Synthesis

Question 1

RNA Process

Answer 1

DNA – (transcription) – RNA – (translation) – Protein – Trait

Question 2

Condon

Answer 2

Three bases on RNA that codes for specific amino acid. Set out protein synthesis which takes place in the ribosomes (rRNA) in the cytoplasm

Eg. AAA = Lysine

Question 3

Transcription

Answer 3

1) The DNA unzips
2) mRNA copies information from DNA using base parings

> uses (R)ibose & (U)racil

Question 4

Translation

Answer 4

1) rRNA attaches is mRNA and stars reading codons
2) tRNA carries amino acids and attaches to growing protein chain
3) When chain is complete, the ribosome releases

Question 5

Polypeptide

Answer 5

The protein chain

Question 6

amino acids

Answer 6

Amino acids are found in DNA to create proteins. They determine physical traits and control cellular functions
