Question 1.
What does mRNA stand for?
Show hintHide hint
Think of it as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes.
Question 2.
What is the role of tRNA?
Show hintHide hint
Remember that each tRNA carries a specific amino acid.
3Question 3.
What is the first step of translation?
- Elongation
- Termination
- Initiation
Show hintHide hint
Think about how the ribosome starts working.
4Question 4.
True or False: tRNA carries amino acids to the nucleus.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall where translation occurs.
Question 5.
Design and explain a hypothetical experiment that could demonstrate the effects of a mutation in mRNA on protein synthesis. What outcomes might you expect?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how various types of mutations could affect proteins.
Question 6.
Explain how ribosomes can ensure that the correct amino acids are added during protein synthesis despite the potential for errors in tRNA pairing.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the mechanisms that ribosomes have for confirming accuracy.
