1. Observe the diagram below, which illustrates the process of protein synthesis. Label the following components: mRNA, tRNA, ribosome, amino acid, nucleus, and cytoplasm. Then, briefly explain the two main stages of protein synthesis.
Explanation of Stages:
2. Which of the following molecules carries the genetic code from the nucleus to the ribosome?
tRNA
rRNA
mRNA
DNA
3. The process of converting the mRNA sequence into an amino acid sequence is called:
Transcription
Replication
Translation
Mutation
4. The process of protein synthesis begins in the with , where a molecule of mRNA is created from a DNA template.
5. Each three-nucleotide sequence on mRNA is called a , which codes for a specific .
6. molecules bring the correct amino acids to the ribosome during .
7. Ribosomes are responsible for both transcription and translation.
True
False
8. DNA leaves the nucleus to participate directly in translation.
True
False
Match the term with its correct description.
9. Codon
