Analysis:
1. How is complementary base paring different when pairing DNA to DNA than when pairing
DNA to mRNA?
2. What is the role of each of the following molecules in protein synthesis?
a. DNA
b. mRNA
c. tRNA
d. Amino Acids
e. Splicosome
3. What is the process of transcription?
4. What location does transcription occur?
5. What is the process of translation?
6. What location does translation occur?
7. Each mRNA has a cap and poly-A-tail. What is their purpose?
8. Compare and contrast DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase?
9. Does transcription and translation start at the first nucleotide of the gene? Explain your
answer.
10. After transcription, mRNA is edited to become mature mRNA. Explain this editing process
11. What is the significance of a promoter and transcription factors?
12. Explain the difference between a codon and an anticodon.
