segments of DNA act as templates for production of complementary RNA molecules
-
segments of RNA act as templates for production of complementary DNA molecules
Pregunta 5
Pregunta
Josephine knows what RNA is and what it stands for, and that it has a vital role in Protein Synthesis, but she is still not sure about what the main function is of RNA. What is RNA's main function?
Pregunta 6
Pregunta
Josephine has learned more about RNA, but there is another concept she needs to know on the test. What is genetic code?
Pregunta 7
Pregunta
Josephine knows about transcription and translation, but they sound the same, and also seem to have some of the same jobs. What is the difference between transcription and translation?

both A and B
Pregunta 11
Pregunta
Josephine has a hard time remembering vocabulary, and on her test she needs to know the difference between mRNA and tRNA What is mRNA?
Respuesta
-
neither answer is correct
-
a type of RNA that carries copies of instructions from DNA to the rest of the cell
-
a type of RNA that sends signals to the nucleus, similar to nerves
Pregunta 12
Pregunta
Josephine knows that rRNA and tRNA are different, but she doesn't remember how. What is one difference between rRNA and tRNA?
Respuesta
-
rRNA "reads" (hence the r) mRNA's message, while tRNA holds everything together
-
tRNA "reads" mRNA's message, while rRNA holds everything together
-
neither answer is correct
Pregunta 13
Pregunta
Josephine is not sure what RNA Polymerase is, as she has not heard that term before and it is on her homework. She already knows that "poly" means multiple, and what RNA is, but she is not sure what them put together exactly is. Define RNA Polymerase.
Respuesta
-
an enzyme that links the chain of RNA nucleotides
-
an enzyme that links the chain of DNA nucleotides
-
an enzyme that breaks down extra nucleotides

Josephine knows the difference of translation, but now she needs to know what happens during translation exactly. What is the order of the process of translation?
Respuesta
-
mRNA, tRNA, "assembly line", stop codon
-
tRNA, mRNA, "assembly line", stop codon
-
mRNA, "assembly line", stop codon
Pregunta 15
Pregunta
Josephine, previously thinking that a codon was something to do with computer coding, is now learning that a codon is something in genetics. What is the real definition of a codon?
Respuesta
-
A nucleotide base located in mRNA
-
Three nucleotide bases located in mRNA that decide which acid goes in which protein
-
Three nucleotide bases located in rRNA that decide which acid goes in which protein
Pregunta 16
Pregunta
Josephine had to look up what dogma means, but know that she knows what a dogma is, she must learn what the central dogma of Protein Synthesis is. What is the central dogma of Protein Synthesis?
Pregunta 17
Pregunta
Josephine feels worried about what the worst thing that could happen to her DNA is, and wanting to learn if there is a way to prevent it, needs to know what the worst thing is. Which is worse, deletion, subscription, or neither are bad?
Respuesta
-
Neither are bad
-
Substitution
-
Deletion
Pregunta 18
Pregunta
Josephine now knows what a codon is, but she is not sure what an anti-codon is, or what it does. First she needs to know what an anti-codon is. What is an anti-codon?
Respuesta
-
three paired bases
-
three unpaired bases
-
nucleotide base
Pregunta 19
Pregunta
Josephine knows what both codons and anti-codons are now, but she wants to make a list of some of the differences. What is the difference between codons and anti-codons?
Respuesta
-
there is no difference
-
anti-codon is with mRNA, codons are with tRNA
-
codon is with mRNA, anti-codon is tRNA
