Question

Identify each description as a feature of transcription, translation, or neither.

1) Two DNA molecules result from one original molecule

2) Amino acids are linked together at ribosomes:

3) RNA base sequences complementary to those in DNA are built

4) Complementary tRNA bases match up to mRNA bases

Answer 1

what do you think the answers are?

Answer 2

for number 2, i'm thinking transcription. for 3, translation, and 4, neither
not sure about 1

Answer 3

Translation is the conversion of an RNA sequence to a chain of amino acids
Transcription is the process by which an RNA sequence is created from a DNA sequence by RNA polymerase

Answer 4

try again?

Answer 5

heck heck alright uhm

Answer 6

If you get it wrongs its fine I will walk you through each one

Answer 7

Just ask yourself does this sound like it could be a part of either of these two processes

Answer 8

number 1 would be transcription
number 2 would be translation
number 3 would be transcription
number 4 would be neither

Answer 9

did i make any mistakes?

Answer 10

2 and 3 are correct

Answer 11

In transcription, DNA information is converted into RNA information. In translation, RNA information is converted into protein information.

Answer 12

1 is DNA replication it happens during the cell cycle

Answer 13

So then would 1 be transcription?

Answer 14

wait no woops

Answer 15

think about number 4

Answer 16

number 1 should be neither?

Answer 17

where does translation occur of an mRNA

Answer 18

yes

Answer 19

And then 4 would be translation?

Answer 20

yes

Answer 21

I highly recommend you look up transcription, translation and replication

Answer 22

these are all fundamental concepts that you will likely have to learn if you take any intro biology class

Answer 23

DNA base pairs: C-G, A-T

RNA base pairs: C-G, A-U

Answer 24

I did, though I guess I just didn't know how to apply them to the problems. I'll take a better look at it.

Answer 25

I understand the base pairs

Answer 26

Thank you for your help!!!

Answer 27

The big thing is know definitions in biology

Answer 28

as soon as you read ribosome you should think translation

Answer 29

Anyways hope I was helpful

Answer 30

Taken note of! Thank you for the pointer

Answer 31

Translation is the process of translating the sequence of a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule to a sequence of amino acids during protein synthesis. The genetic code describes the relationship between the sequence of base pairs in a gene and the corresponding amino acid sequence that it encodes. In the cell cytoplasm, the ribosome reads the sequence of the mRNA in groups of three bases to assemble the protein. Here is a more complete definition of translation

Answer 32

Transcription is the process of making an RNA copy of a gene sequence. This copy, called a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule, leaves the cell nucleus and enters the cytoplasm, where it directs the synthesis of the protein, which it encodes. Here is a more complete definition of transcription

Answer 33

Ahh, that's helpful. I've added that to my notes, thank you!!
