Which type of RNA carries amino acids to the ribosome?

tRNA

What are nonsense mutations?

a mutation that results in a stop codon in the middle of mRNA

Which of the following processes results in two DNA molecules: one consists of two new DNA chains and another of two old DNA chains (read this question to the end and think)?
A) transcription
B) translation

D

Translation is________

protein synthesis

Where does splicing occur?

in the nucleus

What contains an anticodon?

tRNA

A) More than one codon codes for most amino acids
B) One codon can correspond to several different amino acids
C) Different species have different genetic codes
D) A nucleotide change in mRNA always r

A

Where does the protein synthesis take place?

at the ribosomes at rough ER

Where does translation happen?

on the surface of rough ER

What type of mutation does not affect amino acid sequence?

neutral mutation

Which of the following is not true about ribosomes?
A) Ribosomes contain protein
B) Ribosomes contain RNA
C) Ribosomes can synthesize proteins
D) Ribosomes are enclosed in a phospholipid membrane
E) Ribosomes are located at the rough ER

D

What makes proteins out of amino acid monomers?

ribosome

What is splicing?

removing introns from RNA and sealing exons together
