    translation
    What is the primary purpose of mRNA in translation?
    A. To carry amino acids to the ribosome

    B. To serve as a template for protein synthesis

    C. To form the ribosome

    D. To modify DNA
    ANS:B
    Which of the following is NOT a
    stop codon?
    A. UGA

    B. AUG

    C. UAA

    D. UAG
    ANS:B
    The start codon in mRNA, which
    initiates translation, is:

    A. UGA

    B. AUG

    C. UAG

    D. UAA
    ANS:B
    What occurs during the elongation
    phase of translation?

    A) The ribosome assembles at the start codon

    B) The polypeptide chain is released from the


    ribosome

    C) tRNA molecules bring amino acids to the growing


    polypeptide chain

    D) Introns are removed from the mRNA


    ANS:C
    What is the primary function of ribosomes
    during translation?

    A) To replicate DNA

    B) To synthesize mRNA

    C) To facilitate the binding of tRNA and mRNA

    D) To degrade mRNA
    ANS:C
    Which of the following components is NOT
    directly involved in the elongation phase of
    translation?

    A) Ribosome

    B) tRNA

    C) mRNA

    D) DNA
    ANS:D
    If a mutation changes the start codon
    (AUG) to AUA in a eukaryotic mRNA, what
    will happen during translation?

    A) Translation will not initiate.

    B) Translation will use AUA as the new start codon.

    C) Translation will begin at the first AUG downstream.

    D) Translation will start at a random point.


    ANS:A
    Which molecule is responsible for catalyzing peptide bond formation during translation?

    A) Ribosomal proteins

    B) rRNA in the ribosome

    C) tRNA synthetase

    D) mRNA
    ANS:B
    Synthesis of any protein in a cell is
    determined by:

    A- Types of ribosomes

    B- Mitochondria

    C- Sequence of nucleotides in DNA

    D- Sugar and phosphate of DNA


    ANS:C
    Using RNA as a template for protein synthesis instead of translating proteins directly from the DNA is advantageous for the cell because:

    a. RNA is much more stable than DNA.

    b. RNA acts as an expendable copy of the genetic material, allowing the DNA to serve as a permanent, pristine repository of the genetic material.

    c. many mRNA molecules can be transcribed from a single gene, increasing the potential rate of gene
    expression.

    d. B and C only

    e. A, B, and C
    ANS:D
