DNA Template strand: TAC ACG CAA TTA
mRNA: __________________
What is the mRNA strand? Use CAPITAL LETTERS and the space bar to separate your sequence into codons.
Use the image below to answer the following questions:
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
Part D | arrow_right_alt | mRNA |
Part A | arrow_right_alt | Peptide bond |
Part B | arrow_right_alt | tRNA |
Part C | arrow_right_alt | Ribosome |
Put the steps of transcription and translation in the order that they occur in.
mRNA connects to the ribosome and translation begins.
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.
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.
RNA nucleotides match their bases to the bases on one of the DNA strands and a strand of mRNA is made.
begins with transcription, in which a template strand of is rewritten into a complementary strand of . This new molecule then is transferred to a ribosome to be translated. At the ribosome, the anticodons on molecules of correspond to codons on molecules of mRNA, allowing to be ordered correctly in a polypeptide.

Which TWO of the following processes take place entirely within the nucleus of eukaryotes?
Match the type of RNA on the left with the correct function on the right.
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
rRNA | arrow_right_alt | carries instructions for protein synthesis from the nucleus to the cytoplasm |
mRNA | arrow_right_alt | carries amino acids to the ribosome and mtches them to the coded mRNA message |
tRNA | arrow_right_alt | forms an important part of the ribosome |
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 |
