Posttest New

The document is a post-test containing 14 multiple choice questions assessing knowledge of DNA, RNA, protein synthesis and the genetic code. It tests understanding of the structures of DNA and RNA, the number of amino acids encoded by a given RNA sequence, the functions of ligase and helicase enzymes, the process of DNA replication, stages of protein synthesis, the relationship between codons, tRNAs and amino acids.
