translation	25.	26.	27.	no	28.

1. consider the illustration placed in the transcription box above. identify and label on the illustration if any of the following are present: dna, mrna, rrna, trna, and/or amino acid.
2. consider the illustration placed in the translation box above. identify and label on the illustration if any of the following are present: dna, mrna, rrna, trna, and/or amino acid.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall transcription location

In eukaryotic cells, transcription occurs in the nucleus where DNA is located and can be used as a template for mRNA synthesis.

Step2: Define transcription

Transcription is the process of using DNA as a template to synthesize a complementary mRNA strand with the help of RNA polymerase.

Step3: State transcription end - result

The end - result of transcription is the formation of mRNA.

Step4: Determine DNA involvement in transcription

DNA is directly involved in transcription as it serves as the template.

Step5: Recall translation location

Translation occurs on ribosomes in the cytoplasm.

Step6: Define translation

Translation is the process where the information in mRNA is used to assemble amino - acids into a protein with the help of tRNA (which brings the amino - acids) and rRNA (which is part of the ribosome).

Step7: State translation end - result

The end - result of translation is a protein.

Step8: List RNA types in translation

In translation, mRNA provides the code, tRNA brings the amino - acids, and rRNA is part of the ribosome structure.

Step9: Identify molecules in transcription illustration

In the transcription illustration, the DNA strands are visible as the template, and the newly - formed mRNA is being synthesized.

Step10: Identify molecules in translation illustration

In the translation illustration, the mRNA is on the ribosome, tRNA molecules are bringing amino - acids, the ribosome contains rRNA, and amino - acids are being added to the protein chain.

Answer:

1. Nucleus
2. Using DNA as a template to make mRNA
3. mRNA
4. Yes
5. Ribosome
6. Using mRNA to make a protein with the help of tRNA and rRNA
7. Protein
8. mRNA, tRNA, rRNA
9. DNA, mRNA are present in the transcription illustration. Label the DNA strands and the newly - formed mRNA strand.
10. mRNA, tRNA, rRNA, amino - acid are present in the translation illustration. Label the mRNA strand on the ribosome, the tRNA molecules carrying amino - acids, the ribosome (which contains rRNA), and the amino - acids being added to the growing protein chain.
