Translation

[go to this section in the Guide]
Chapter Six: DNA, RNA, and Protein Synthesis


Question 1
 Translation is defined as the process by which
   1.  mRNA is synthesized based on the sequence of bases in a DNA molecule
2.  proteins are synthesized based on the sequence of bases in an mRNA molecule
3.  proteins determine what other processes occur in the cell
4.  scientists translate the code on an mRNA molecule
 

Question 2
 The first codon on an mRNA molecule which can be translated is always
   1.  UCA
2.  GCU
3.  TAC
4.  AUG
 

Question 3
 The part of the tRNA molecule which must match the sequence of bases on the mRNA molecule is called the
   1.  codon
2.  anticodon
3.  codon complement
4.  reverse codon
 

Question 4
 When a tRNA molecule approaches the ribosome, it enters the large ribosomal subunit at the
   1.  P site
2.  R site
3.  A site
4.  E site
 

Question 5
 In order for translation to end, which of the following is true?
   1.  a "stop" codon enters the A site
2.  the end of the mRNA molecule is reached
3.  the protein molecule reaches a certain length
4.  translation does not end
