Protein Synthesis Exam Questions and
Answers
Which of the following events occurs during transcription? - ✅✅A molecule of
RNA is formed based on the sequence of nucleotides in DNA.
During transcription, RNA nucleotides line up with their complementary DNA
partners, transcribing the information in DNA into RNA.
Which of the following is a correct statement about mRNA? - ✅✅mRNA moves
from the nucleus to the cytoplasm following RNA processing.
mRNA undergoes RNA processing in the nucleus and then moves to the cytoplasm
for translation.
The site of translation is - ✅✅ribosomes in the cell cytoplasm.
Translation occurs at ribosomes in the cell cytoplasm.
Which one of the following does not play a role in translation?
Anticodon
Amino acids
tRNA
Ribosomes
DNA - ✅✅DNA contains the instructions for making proteins, but these
instructions are transcribed to RNA before translation occurs.
