PAP Biology
Unit 8 Protein Synthesis Test Review
1. Compare the structure of RNA with that of DNA?
2. What does a codon code for?
3. T/F: The genetic code works the same way in all organisms...DNAmRNAprotein
4. What are the differences between DNA and RNA?
5. In RNA, thymine is replaced by ________________________.
6. What are the names and functions of the three types of RNA?
7. Where does transcription occur in prokaryotes/eukaryotes? What is produced?
8. Summarize and draw a picture of transcription.
9. What enzyme is required to begin transcription? Where does it bind?
10. What is a codon? Where is it found?
11. What is an anticodon? Where is it found?
12. Be able to use a codon chart to find amino acids. AUG  _______ CUA _______ UGA  ________
13. Where does translation occur in prokaryotes/eukaryotes? What is produced?
14. Summarize and draw a picture of translation.
15. Make up a strand of DNA that is at least 30 nucleotides long. Transcribe your DNA into mRNA. Use a
codon chart to translate your mRNA into a protein. Make sure that your mRNA starts with a start
codon and ends with a stop codon.
16. What is gene regulation?
17. Compare and contrast introns and exons.
18. Define the following gene mutations: deletion, insertion, substitution.
19. Explain a frameshift mutation.
20. Explain why nuclear DNA is considered “Universal.”
