What happens during the process of transcription?
Mutations test question suggestion
All corn plants contain the ZmLA1 gene. Some corn plants contain a certain mutation in the ZmLA1 gene. The graph below shows the amount of ZmLA1 RNA produced in plants with the normal gene and in plants with the mutated gene.
Based on the graph, what most likely happens in corn plant cells as a direct result of the mutated gene?
The diagram shows a portion of the genetic code. The diagram is read from the center of the circle outwards. So, the codon AGU is translated as serine, which is an amino acid.
Which conclusion about the genetic code is most strongly supported by the evidence presented in the diagram?
The sequence of nitrogenous bases on a portion of a strand of DNA is shown in the diagram. From left to right, what is the corresponding sequence of the complementary strand?
There are three main types of RNA: messenger RNA (mRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and transfer RNA (tRNA). Which type or types of RNA contain a copy of the instructions that a gene
carries?
The following question has two parts. First, answer Part A. Then, answer Part B.
Part A:
A sequence of a DNA strand is shown below
5' GCC ATG GTA TGG 3'
A model of a three cellular processes are shown below. Match the purpose to the correct process.

During which stage of protein synthesis is the information in mRNA used to build a polypeptide chain?
Same as Test Question, changed to ask about Step B instead
A diagram of the steps in the production of a protein is shown
Which description identifies the purpose of step B in this process?
Same as Test Question, changed to ask about translation instead
Directions: A diagram of a cell is shown below. Use the image to answer any questions that follow
In the diagram, the process occurring at the ribosome is -
Same as Test Question, changed to the question to ask about the second step of protein synthesis instead
Some events that take place during the synthesis of a specific protein are listed.
A. Individual amino acids connect to form an amino acid chain
B. mRNA leaves the nucleus
C. mRNA attaches to a ribosome
D. DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA
Which steps occur in the second step of protein synthesis?
Part B:
Using the codon wheel shown, which is the correct amino acid chain for the mRNA codons from Part A.
