Deoxyribonucleic acid is the building block of all living organisms. Which of the following statements is correct?
Match the type of RNA on the left with the correct function on the right.
tRNA
rRNA
mRNA
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
Move the characteristics on the left to the correct category on the right.

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

Use the image below to answer the following questions:
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
Part B | arrow_right_alt | mRNA |
Part C | arrow_right_alt | Peptide bond |
Part D | arrow_right_alt | tRNA |
Part A | arrow_right_alt | Ribosome |
Put the steps of protein synthesis in the order that they occur in.
mRNA connects to the ribosome and translation begins.
RNA nucleotides match their bases to the bases on one of the DNA strands and a strand of mRNA is made.
The Stop codon is reached and mRNA leaves the nucleus with the copied strand of DNA.
Codons on the mRNA pair up with anti-codons on the tRNA, which brings in the correct amino acids.
Transcription begins when DNA is "unzipped" beginning at a start codon.
Amino acids are added together with peptide bonds to make a protein. Translation is complete.
Indicate whether each statement describes transcription or translation:
Transcription | Translation | |
|---|---|---|
Peptide bonds form between amino acids | ||
mRNA is synthesized | ||
A ribosome (protein) is assembled | ||
tRNA anticodons bond with mRNA codons |

What is the primary function of transfer RNA (tRNA) in protein synthesis?
The picture above demonstrates the process of because it shows adding amino acids in the order that the codes for. This occurs on a(n) , also known as a ribosome.
The investigation results show the process of . The location of this process occurs in the . This information indicates that the cell does not have a nucleus and would therefore be classified as a .
