Question

RNA has many different roles in gene expression. Check all that apply.

mRNA defines the polypeptide to be formed

DNA defines the polypeptide to be formed

rRNA, along with proteins, forms the ribosome

mRNA delivers the appropriate amino acid to the ribosome

tRNA delivers the appropriate amino acid to the ribosome

Translation is appropriately named because the process transfers the code from DNA to RNA, though in complementary fashion.

True

False

The template strand is to the sense strand as the coding strand is to the antisense strand.

True

False

The phenomenon symbolized by DNA RNA Protein is referred to as the Central Dogma because it is true for all organisms.

True

False

The reading frame refers to the selection of the correct triplet of nucleotides by selecting the correct beginning point. If the beginning point is wrong, all nucleotides will be clustered into the wrong codons.

True

False

Activating enzymes need to recognize only one anticodon.

True

False

Explanation / Answer

1. The correct statements are:

mRNA defines the polypeptide to be formed

DNA defines the polypeptide to be formed but indirectly.

rRNA, along with proteins, forms the ribosome

tRNA delivers the appropriate amino acid to the ribosome

2. False.

Transcription is the transfer of information from DNA to RNA. The processing of codons present on the mRNA to produce proteins is called translation.

3. False.

The sense strand and the coding strand are the same. The antisense strand acts as the template for DNA transcription.

4.TRue.

5. TRue.

6. TRue.
