Quiz: RNA – Structure, Function & Protein Synthesis Practice Study Guide
In the process of Choose... differentiation transcription replication translation , DNA is used as a
template for making another type of nucleic acid called Choose... NADPH pyruvate ATP RNA .
The process begins when the enzyme Choose... DNA replicase ATP synthase RNA polymerase
catalase binds to a region called the Choose... repressor promoter anticodon operator . - ANS
✔✔
Identify the different types of RNA and sections of RNA. Not all answers will be used. - ANS
✔✔Carries copies of the instructions for assembling proteins:
messenger RNA
Makes up the subunits of ribosomes: ribosomal RNA Carries amino acids and matches them to
the coded message for assembling proteins: transfer RNA Sections of an mRNA molecule that
are removed: introns Sections of an mRNA molecule that are not removed, and are joined
together to form the completed molecule: exons
In which ways is RNA different from DNA? Select all of the properties that apply to RNA, but not
DNA. - ANS ✔✔generally single-stranded, contains uracil, contains the sugar ribose
Which of these events occurs first during the process of transcription? - ANS ✔✔RNA
polymerase binds to the promoter.
George is studying a computer model of a DNA molecule, in which the letters A, C, G, and T are
listed in a very long sequence. The model includes a total of 2000 genes that are scattered along
the full length of the molecule. The genes make up only a small fraction of the molecule. George
wants to identify the locations of the genes. Which would be the MOST USEFUL first step to
follow? - ANS ✔✔Identify the promoter regions in the model molecule.
