Protein Synthesis

Question 19 • First Semester Biology

Check your understanding. Which items did you include? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
The gene coding for the protein untwists and unzips.
B
RNA nucleotides form complimentary base pairs with the DNA bases.
C
Hydrogen bonds and sugar-phosphate bonds form and the mRNA strand is synthesized.
D
mRNA peels off the DNA and moves to the cytoplasm.

Explanation

These are the steps of transcription. The protein that helps copy the gene untwists and unzips the DNA, then RNA nucleotides pair with complementary DNA bases. Bonds form as the mRNA strand is synthesized; afterward, the mRNA separates from the DNA and moves to the cytoplasm.
