Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. This worksheet assesses your understanding of transcription and translation, key processes in gene expression.
1. Which of the following is the primary enzyme involved in transcription?
DNA polymerase
RNA polymerase
Helicase
Ligase
2. Where does translation occur in a eukaryotic cell?
Nucleus
Mitochondria
Ribosome
Endoplasmic reticulum
3. The process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA template is called .
4. During translation, the ribosome reads codons on the mRNA molecule and recruits corresponding molecules.
