Protein Synthesis Exam Questions and
Answers
transcription - ✅✅the process where the DNA sequence in a gene is copied
into mRNA
translation - ✅✅the process where genetic information coded in mRNA directs
the formation of a specific protein at a ribosome
codon - ✅✅sequence of three bases on a strand of mRNA that provides genetic
code information for a particular amino acid
anticodon - ✅✅group of three bases on a tRNA molecule that are
complementary to an mRNA codon
complementary base pairing - ✅✅In DNA, T pairs with A; G pairs with C;
RNA, U pairs with A and G pairs with C
ribosome - ✅✅organelles at which proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm.
adenine - ✅✅pairs with uracil in RNA
nitrogenous bases - ✅✅adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, uracail
deoxyribose - ✅✅sugar in DNA
