Question 1
Question
What is responsible for unwinding the DNA and building the mRNA strand?
Answer
-
ribosomes
-
enzymes
-
tRNA
Question 2
Question
What must happen to the mRNA strand before it leaves the nucleus?
Answer
-
It must be replicated
-
It must be translated
-
It must be edited
Question 3
Question
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].
Answer
-
DNA
-
RNA
-
thymine
-
uracil
-
sugar
-
sugar
-
ribose

Question 6
Question
Polypeptide chains are made of amino acids linked together by hydrogen bonds.
Answer
- True
- False
Question 7
Question
Which of the following is correct for the steps of protein synthesis:
Answer
-
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

Answer
-
