Question 1
1.

Assign each of the characteristics below to either DNA or RNA.

  • Double stranded
  • Single stranded
  • Ribose
  • Deoxyribose
  • Thymine
  • Uracil
  • Three types
  • Found only in the nucleus
  • Adenine
  • Guanine
  • Cytosine
  • Made up of nucleotides
  • DNA
  • RNA
  • Both DNA & RNA
Question 2
2.

Protein synthesis occurs in which order?

Question 3
3.

The process of copying a gene's DNA sequence into a sequence of RNA is called:

Question 4
4.

Which process is shown in the image below?

Question 5
5.

Use the image below to answer the following questions:
Hint: not ALL of the labels are used!

  • DNA
  • mRNA
  • Ribosome
  • Nucleus
  • Protein
  • Hydrogen bond
  • Codon
  • tRNA
  • What is Part A?
  • What is Part B?
  • What is Part C?
  • What is Part D?
Question 6
6.

Put the steps of transcription and translation in the order that they occur in.

  1. Transcription begins when DNA is "unzipped" beginning at a start codon.
  2. RNA nucleotides match their bases to the bases on one of the DNA strands and a strand of mRNA is made.
  3. Amino acids are added together with peptide bonds to make a protein. Translation is complete.
  4. Codons on the mRNA pair up with anti-codons on the tRNA, which brings in the correct amino acids.
  5. mRNA connects to the ribosome and translation begins.
  6. The Stop codon is reached and mRNA leaves the nucleus with the copied strand of DNA.
Question 7
7.

Transcribe the following DNA:
ATT CCC GGG

Question 8
8.

Translate mRNA: UUU AAA GGG to Amino acid sequence

Question 9
9.

Translate the following DNA sequence into Amino acids:
ATA GCG GTG

Question 10
10.

Translate the following DNA sequence into Amino acids:
AAA CGC ATA CCA

Question 11
11.

From what DNA Strand was this mRNA: CUC AAG UGC UUC made ?

Question 12
12.

Write the sequence of mRNA bases that would be transcribed from the sequence of bases below:
TAC ACG CAA TTA
Use the space bar to separate your sequence into codons.

Question 13
13.

Use the genetic code chart provided above to translate your MRNA from Question 12 into an amino acid sequence to make a protein. Use the first 3 letters of each amino acid in your answer and separate each of your amino acids from the others with a space. Example: MET HIS PRO LEU STOP
