Transcription & Translation

Question 1

Why does transcription occur in the nucleus?

Answer 1

Because the DNA is in the nucleus (chromatin)

Question 2

Does transcription read the mRNA codon?

Answer 2

NOoOOoOo!!!!!!! It transfers DNA to mRNA >:( . Quick little fact, the RIBOSOMES read the mRNA codon, not transcription!

Question 3

What even is a codon?

Answer 3

A codon is a sequence of 3 consecutive nucleotides that codes for a specific amino acid.

Question 4

What is the end result of transcription?

Answer 4

A single strand of mRNA

Question 5

TRUE or FALSE: DNA is not involved in transcription.

Answer 5

FALSE, it is involved or else it won’t even work dummy!

Question 6

What type of RNA is involved in transcription?

Answer 6

Only mRNA because she’s selfish and wants everything for herself <3

Question 7

TRANSLATION is a cell that makes ________ using genetic information in the ____. The ribosome _____ the mRNA codon, and brings the matching ____ over to the correct _____ ____.

Answer 7

TRANSLATION is a cell that makes PROTEINS using genetic information in the [mRNA]. The ribosome READS the mRNA codon and brings the matching [tRNA] over to the correct AMINO ACID.

Question 8

TRUE or FALSE: The end result of translation is a newly made protein.

Answer 8

Tru you

Question 9

Is DNA involved in TRANSLATION?

Answer 9

nu

Question 10

List the type(s) of RNA involved in TRANSLATION.

Answer 10

mRNA, rRNA, & tRNA .

Question 11

What location does translation even occur, and why?

Answer 11

It occurs in the ribosome because ribosomes actually translate information encoded in messenger RNA (mRNA)
