Protein Synthesis Questions and Correct Detailed Answers (Verified Answers)

Q: 1. transcription Ans: a strand of DNA is copied into RNA Q: 2. Translation Ans: tRNA brings the amino acids to the ribosome to be read 3 letters at a time (codon) on the mRNA. Amino acids are linked together to form a polypeptide chain and eventually a protein. Q: 3. peptide bond Ans: covalent bond that forms between the amino acids of the polypeptide chain Q: 4. mRNA (messenger) Ans: copy of the DNA made in the nucleus and moves to the ribosome Q: 5. tRNA (transfer) 2 Master01 | 2025/2026 | Latest update Ans: molecule that transports amino acids to the ribosome (anti-codon finds the codon) Q: 6. Codon Ans: 3 nucleotides in mRNA that encode for a specific amino acid Q: 7. rRNA Ans: type of RNA that make up the ribosome and helps the amino acids link together Q: 8. DNA ----- RNA Ans: transcription Q: 9. RNA ------ protein Ans: translation Q: 10. gene expression Ans: when a segment of DNA is transcribed to mRNA and makes a protein that we need. 3 Master01 | 2025/2026 | Latest update Q: polypeptide chain Ans: A chain of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Q: anti-codon Ans: 3 bases on the tR
