Your Performance  

1.

The process of translating mRNA into protein occurs...

  within the nucleus

  inside the Lysosomes

  inside the Peroxisomes

  at the ribosomes

  Half-n-half Clue
 

2.

The movement of peptidyl tRNA from the A site to the P site (of the larger ribosomal subunit) and the movement of mRNA in relation to the ribosome is called :

  dislocation

  translocation

  RNA processing

  elongation

  Half-n-half Clue
 

3.

The base inosine is usually found in :

  tRNA

  rRNA

  hnRNA

  mRNA

  Half-n-half Clue
 

4.

Which of the following pairs of codons encode the same protein ?

  AUG and AUC

  UAG and UAC

  GUA and GUG

  UAA and UAC

  Half-n-half Clue
 

5.

The difference in the products translated from a tricistronic mRNA molecule by the ribosomes of prokaryotes and eukaryotes is that :

  the prokaryotic ribosome translates only one cistron while the eukaryotic ribosome translates all cistrons.

  the eukaryotic ribosome translates only one cistron while the prokaryotic ribosome translates all cistrons.

  the eukaryotic ribosome will produce one polyprotein instead of three smaller proteins.

  None of the above.

  Half-n-half Clue
 

6.

Which of the following is not a stop codon ?

  GUA

  UAG

  UAA

  UGA

  Half-n-half Clue
 

7.

Which of the following statements is correct ?

  Methionine is found at the N-terminus of nearly all newly synthesised eukaryotic proteins.

  Each mRNA molecule is usually translated into, hundreds of copies of a single polypeptide chain.

  In prokaryotes, both transcription and translation take place in the same part of the nucleus.

  All of the above.

  Half-n-half Clue
