DNA and Protein Synthesis Quiz Study Guide
Integrated Science 4

  1. DNA Structure andReplication
  • State the purpose and importance of DNA replication. Describe the process of DNA replication, including the terms complementary base pairing, template strand, new strand, unzip.
  • Know the structure of DNA and its components (a nucleotide always contains 3 parts…)
  1. Protein Synthesis
  • Know and be able to describe the different processes in protein synthesis (transcription and translation)
  • Describe the basic structure of an RNA molecule. Know how RNA is similar and different to DNA.
  • Describe the purpose of transcription. Identify the molecules used and created in the process. Where does the process occur in the cell?
  • Describe the purpose of translation. Identify the molecules used and created in the process. Where does the process occur in the cell?
  • Explain the roles of mRNA, rRNA and tRNA in protein synthesis.
  • Define the following terms: gene, codon, anti-codon.
  • Given a DNA sequence, determine the sequence of amino acids created during protein synthesis. Be prepared to use a codon chart (the circle one will be provided).
  • Describe the relationship between amino acids and proteins. List some functions of proteins in the human body.
