question
Which of the following events occurs during transcription?
answer
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.
question
Which of the following is a correct statement about mRNA?
answer
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.
question
The site of translation is
answer
ribosomes in the cell cytoplasm. Translation occurs at ribosomes in the cell cytoplasm.
question
Which one of the following does not play a role in translation? Anticodon Amino acids tRNA Ribosomes DNA
answer
DNA contains the instructions for making proteins, but these instructions are transcribed to RNA before translation occurs.
question
Which of the following does not occur during RNA processing?
answer
mRNA attaches to the small subunit of a ribosome. mRNA attaches to the small subunit of a ribosome at the beginning of translation.
