Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta 1

Pregunta
What is responsible for unwinding the DNA and building the mRNA strand?
Respuesta
  • ribosomes
  • enzymes
  • tRNA

Pregunta 2

Pregunta
What must happen to the mRNA strand before it leaves the nucleus?
Respuesta
  • It must be replicated
  • It must be translated
  • It must be edited

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
Some important differences between DNA and RNA: Firstly that [blank_start]DNA[blank_end] is double-stranded, while [blank_start]RNA[blank_end] is a single-strand. DNA has the nucleotide [blank_start]thymine[blank_end], while RNA has [blank_start]uracil[blank_end]. The [blank_start]sugar[blank_end] of DNA is deoxyribose, while the [blank_start]sugar[blank_end] of RNA is [blank_start]ribose[blank_end].
Respuesta
  • DNA
  • RNA
  • thymine
  • uracil
  • sugar
  • sugar
  • ribose

Pregunta 6

Pregunta
Polypeptide chains are made of amino acids linked together by hydrogen bonds.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
Which of the following is correct for the steps of protein synthesis:
Respuesta
  • Transcription occurs at the ribosomes; the strand of mRNA is edited; the mRNA exits the ribosomes; the mRNA is translated into a polypeptide chain in the nucleus
  • Transcription occurs in the nucleus; the strand of mRNA is edited; the mRNA exits the nucleus; the mRNA is translated into a polypeptide chain at the ribosomes
  • Translation occurs in the nucleus; the strand of mRNA is edited; the mRNA exits the nucleus; the mRNA is transcribed into a polypeptide chain at the ribosomes
  • Translation occurs at the ribosomes; the strand of mRNA is edited; the mRNA exits the nucleus; the mRNA is transcribed into a polypeptide chain in the nucleus
