DNA carries the cell’s genetic information; however, it cannot leave the nucleus Correct..
Because of this, it copies part of its nucleotide sequence into a complementary copy of
mRNA Correct. during the process called transcription Correct..
During this process, the enzyme,
helicase Correct.separates the DNA strands.
One strand of DNA acts as the
template Correct. from which nucleotides are assembled into a strand of RNA.
Each three letter sequence on the mRNA is called a codon Correct. .
The start codon is AUG Correct. and the three stop codons are UAG UGA UAA Correct..
Once the mRNA leaves the nucleus, it goes to the ribosome Correct. to prepare for protein
synthesis, which is called translation Correct..
During this process, a tRNA Correct. molecule brings the amino acid Correct. to the ribosome.
The amino acids are hooked together by peptide Correct. bonds.
The tRNA is able to match up to the mRNA by the complimentary bases Correct. in its anticodons.
When the stop Correct. codon is reached, the peptide Incorrect. chain is released into the cytoplasm Correct..
