Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosome.

Answer: B
 mRNA carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.

Answer: P
 Transcription is the process of creating an mRNA copy of a segment of DNA.

Answer: E
 Uracil is a nitrogenous base found in RNA.

Answer: J
 Exons are segments of DNA that code for proteins.

Answer: O
 Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes.

Answer: M
 The centromere is the point at which sister chromatids are attached.

Answer: L
 Telomeres are the protective caps at the end of chromosomes.

Answer: K
 Proteasomes are protein complexes that break down damaged or unneeded proteins.

Answer: N
 Haploid cells have one set of chromosomes.

Answer: A
 Adenine is a nitrogenous base found in both DNA and RNA.

Answer: I
 Thymine is a nitrogenous base found only in DNA.

Answer: C
 Interons are segments of DNA that do not code for proteins.

Answer: D
 RNAi, or RNA interference, is a process by which RNA molecules can silence gene expression.

Answer: F
 Chaperone proteins assist in the folding of newly synthesized proteins.
