Delivering amino acids to the ribosome; cytoplasm

What is the term used to describe the process of making RNA from DNA? (HINT: the first step of Protein Synthesis)

Translation

Transcription

Neither of the above

Which of these IS NOT one of the three steps of transcription?

What is RNA polymerase?

A type of nucleotide monomer

DNA

What is a codon?

A 3-letter base sequence found in the mRNA strand which is read in the fourth step of Translation

The reading on an Amino Acid which corresponds to the mRNA strand

Neither of the above

What is an anticodon?

The reading on an Amino Acid which corresponds to codons on the mRNA strand

The subunits of an mRNA strand

Neither of the above

TRUE OR FALSE: Introns are pieces of pre-mRNA molecules that are cut out of the strand, whereas exons are similar pieces that remain.

True

False

TRUE OR FALSE: RNA can leave the nucleus, whereas DNA cannot.

True

False
