Protein Synthesis
mRNA
What is C? It takes the information in a gene from the nucleus to a ribosome in the cytoplasm.
transcription
What is taking place in A?
translation
What is taking place in A?
DNA
A double-stranded, helical nucleic acid molecule capable of replicating and determining the inherited structure of a cell's proteins.
RNA Polymerase
An enzyme that is required for transcription.
the cytoplasm at a ribosome
In what part of the cell does the process in this diagram take place?
transcription
The first stage of protein synthesis where the information on a section of DNA (a gene) is copied by making a mRNA molecule from the DNA.
DNA
What is A?
polypeptide
another name of a protein.
amino acids
building blocks of proteins
the nucleus
the place where transcription takes place
anticodon
group of three bases on a tRNA molecule that are complementary to an mRNA codon
ribosome
organelle where amino acids are bonded together to form proteins
transcription
process by which a section of DNA is used to produce a single-stranded RNA molecule
translation
What process is taking place in this diagram?
mRNA
Carries the genetic code for a protein from the nucleus to the ribosomes where the proteins are assembled.
the nucleus
Where in a eukaryotic cell does the process in this diagram take place?
translation
The second part of protein synthesis. The mRNA code is used to synthesize a specific protein at a ribosome in the cytoplasm
Nuclear Membrane
What is A?
anticodon
What is A?
codon
What is A?
mRNA
What is A?
nuclear pore
What is A?
ribosome
What is A?
tRNA
What is A?
anticodon
What is A? A three base sequence on a tRNA molecule that is complimentary to a codon on an mRNA.
codon
What is A? A three base sequence on an mRNA molecule that codes for a specific amino acid
tRNA
What is A? Brings the correct amino acid to the ribosome to be added to the growing amino acid chain.
DNA
What is A? Double stranded molecule that contains genes and is found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
ribosome
What is A? The site of protein synthesis. Where a specific amino acid sequence is assembled based on a mRNA code
Amino Acid chain or protein or polypeptide
What is B?
Protein Synthesis
What process is shown in this diagram?

protein synthesis
What process is taking place in this diagram?
transcription
What process is taking place in this diagram?
ribosome in the cytoplasm
the place where translation takes place
translation
the process whereby genetic information coded in messenger RNA directs the formation of a specific protein at a ribosome in the cytoplasm
codon
three-base sequence on messenger RNA that codes for a single amino acid
tRNA
type of RNA that carries each amino acid to a ribosome during protein synthesis
