What is the primary function of DNA? (p. 196)
What is the relationship between a cell, DNA and protein? Explain. (p. 204)
List the three types of RNA and their functions. (p. 205)
List the four ways RNA differs from DNA. (p. 205)
In RNA, the base adenine is complementary to the base ______________. (p. 205)
How are DNA replication and transcription similar? Think about where each takes place,
the enzymes involved and the end result. (Replication – p. 200, Transcription – p. 206)
7. What is transcription? (p. 206)
8. Where does transcription happen in the cell? (p. 206)
9. What is translation? (p. 208)
10. Where does translation happen in the cell? (p. 208)
11. During translation, mRNA must bind to a ______________ which is where proteins are
assembled. (208)
12. Transcribe the following DNA sequence CCCGAGTAACAT. (p. 206)
13. Using pg. 207 in your textbook, determine the series of amino acids encoded for by the
mRNA sequence CUCAAGUGCUUC.
14. Using pg. 207 in your textbook, determine the series of amino acids encoded for by the
mRNA sequence
AUGGACAAUUCG.
15. What would the sequence of DNA be from which the mRNA strand CUCAAGUGCUUC
was made?
16. The original DNA sequence below undergoes the following change
TACACACAAACGGGGTACACACAAACGGGT
What effect would this mutation have on the organism? You must transcribe the
mutated DNA into mRNA, then mRNA into protein to determine the effect on the
organism.

18. What are codons and on which type of RNA are they located? (p. 207)
19. What are anticodons and on which type of RNA are they located? (p. 208)
20. What would the anticodons be for the codons in the mRNA C U C A A G U G C U U C?
