Thanks for your suggestions!

Compare DNA and RNA.
DNA
RNA
Double stranded
Single stranded
Contains the base uracine (U)
Contains the base thymine (T)
Made of nucleotides containing sugar, phosphate, and a nitrogen base
Contains genetic information
Which mRNA sequence complements the DNA sequence below?


Sequence A
Sequence B
Sequence C
Sequence D
Which tRNA anticodon will complement this mRNA codon?


Anticodon A
Anticodon B
Anticodon C
Anticodon D
Match the following to their role in protein synthesis.
tRNA
Copies the genetic code from the DNA molecule and carries it to the ribosome.
mRNA
Stores the genetic code in the nucleus.
DNA
Carries an amino acid to the ribosome.
A mutation always results in the incorrect protein being produced.
True
False
Which nitrogenous bases are needed to complete the DNA strand pictured below? Give your answer in order, from top to bottom.


adenine
thymine
guanine
cytosine
How would the mRNA built from the same DNA strand in #7 be different?
Uracil (U) pairs with adenine (A)
Uracil (U) pairs with thymine (T)
Adenine (A) pairs with guanine (G)
Match the process to its definition.
Translation
The process of creating an mRNA strand from one side of DNA
DNA Replication
The process of using mRNA to build chains of amino acids
Transcription
The process of duplicating a strand of DNA
What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?
To combine with other proteins to form the ribosome where protein synthesis takes place
To transfer the amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosome where protein synthesis takes place
To match up codons with rRNA to signal the start of protein synthesis
