DNA Replication & RNA
1

Which of these follows the correct base-pairing rules for DNA?

1

In order to make a protein, the DNA of a gene first has to be transcribed into

2

Match the type of RNA on the left with the correct function on the right.

  • mRNA
  • rRNA
  • tRNA
  • carries instructions for protein synthesis from the nucleus to the cytoplasm
  • carries amino acids to the ribosome and mtches them to the coded mRNA message
  • forms an important part of the ribosome
2

One strand of DNA has the following base sequence:
CTA TTT CAA CGC TCG GCG TAG CAT
What would be the base sequence on the opposite strand of DNA?

3

Move the characteristics on the left to the correct category on the right.

  • found in cells
  • contains deoxyribose
  • contains ribose
  • contains the base Uracil (U)
  • contains the base Thymine (T)
  • made up of nucleotides
  • type of nucleic acid
  • moves into the cytoplasm
  • found only in the nucleus
  • BOTH DNA & RNA
  • RNA only
  • DNA only
1

Match the enzyme on the left with the correct step of DNA replication on the right

  • DNA polymerase
  • DNA helicase
  • "unzips" the DNA molecule into two separate strands
  • adds free nucleotides to the original strands of nucleotides using base-pairing rules.
