Steps in Protein Synthesis

Question 1

Steps in Protein Synthesis

Answer 1

1. Transcription
2. Translation

Question 2

first step of protein synthesis.

Answer 2

Transcription

Question 3

converts DNA into mRNA in the nucleus.

Answer 3

Transcription

Question 4

RNA polymerase binds to DNA and separates the strands. It then assembles a single-stranded RNA molecule using one strand of DNA as a template.

Answer 4

Transcription

Question 5

complementary to the DNA template strand.

Answer 5

RNA

Question 6

one strand of a DNA separated.

Answer 6

RNA

Question 7

the RNA molecule created during transcription.

Answer 7

Messenger RNA

Question 8

• second step of protein synthesis.
• occurs in the ribosomes.

Answer 8

Translation

Question 9

mRNA is read in sets of three bases (codons) by the ribosome.

Answer 9

Translation

Question 10

assembles proteins from mRNA on ribosomes in the cytoplasm.

Answer 10

Translation

Question 11

protein factories of the cell.

Answer 11

Ribosomes

Question 12

brings amino acids to the ribosome.

Answer 12

tRNA: the Translator

Question 13

each has an anticodon that is complementary to an mRNA codon.

Answer 13

tRNA: the Translator

Question 14

building blocks of proteins.

Answer 14

Amino Acids

Question 15

linked together by peptide bonds to form a polypeptide chain.

Answer 15

Amino Acids
