Question

learning target: i can describe the processes by which genetic information flows from mrna to protein. part 1: answer the multiple - choice questions 1. what are the three letters that indicate start for dna replication? a) aug c) uga r) uaa t) uag u) uga 2. what is the name of the process of moving from dna to rna? a) protein synthesis c) transcription g) translation t) transfer rna u) replication 3. what is the name of the process of moving from dna to rna? a) protein synthesis c) transcription g) translation t) transfer rna u) replication 4. what is the name of the process of moving from rna to protein? a) protein synthesis c) transcription g) translation t) transfer rna u) translocation 5. what enzyme transcribes dna to mrna? a) helicase c) dna polymerase g) rna polymerase t) topoisomerase u) ligase 6. what is the location of translation in the cell. a) nucleus c) cell membrane g) golgi body t) endoplasmic reticulum u) ribosome part 2: replicate dna use the answers you found in part 1 for the dna spots, then replicate the dna below. part 1 # 1. 2. 3. dna new dna part 1 # 4. 5. 6. dna new dna part 3: transcribe dna use the answers you found in part 2 and transcribe the new dna below: part 2 # 1. 2. 3. new dna mrna part 2 # 4. 5. 6. new dna mrna part 4: translate mrna use the answers you found in part 3 and the codon chart on the back to translate the mrna above.

Explanation:

1. In DNA - RNA translation, AUG is the start codon.
2. Transcription is the process of making RNA from DNA.
3. As with 2, transcription is the process from DNA to RNA.
4. Translation is the process of making protein from RNA.
5. RNA Polymerase transcribes DNA to mRNA.
6. Translation occurs at the ribosome in the cell.

Answer:

1. A. AUG
2. C. Transcription
3. C. Transcription
4. G. Translation
5. G. RNA Polymerase
6. U. Ribosome
