Option 1 - this may give too many clues about the overall process of protein synthesis which may be a source of answers for other items on the test.

Three types of RNA are involved in the production of proteins. Read the paragraph explaining protein synthesis. Choose the option that correctly identifies the missing terms, in order of appearance in the sentences.

Protein synthesis involves , so the ribosome can begin the assembly of polypeptides. transcribing the genetic code from DNA. This type of RNA then carries the genetic code to the cytoplasm, where it attaches to a ribosome containing brings amino acids to the ribosome and attaches their anticodons to the codons already in place.

Option 2 - this one does not include anything about the steps of PS, but focuses on recognizing the types of RNA from an image and connecting them to their correct function.
A student created a model of protein synthesis by needed help identifying the types of nucleic acids used in the process.
The student lists the functions of each type of RNA in the model using a data table.
Which types of RNA are labeled at part A, B and C in the model? Choose the answer that lists the RNA types in order A-C.

A: mRNA
B: tRNA
C: rRNA

A: tRNA
B: rRNA
C: mRNA

A: rRNA
B: mRNA
C: tRNA

A: tRNA
B: mRNA
C: rRNA

Option 3- In order to support this type of an item we would need to have kids practice this type of summary writing in class. Our goal for this year is to embed weekly writing activities so this could help us meet that goal.

Determine the correct response to complete the paragraph about the process of protein synthesis and the roles of RNA in each step.

The first step of protein synthesis is the creation of a . Then the . Then the . Individual amino acids are brought by

Individual amino acids connect to form an amino acid chain

DNA is transcribed
