In what process is mRNA synthesized?
Transcription
Translation
DNA Replication
Mitosis
Where does TRANSCRIPTION occur?
Nucleus
Ribosome
Cytoplasm
Mitochondria
Why must transcription occur where DNA can be found?
because DNA can't leave
because ribosomes are in the nucleus
because DNA polymerase is found there
because helicase unzips the DNA

How do you know when to begin translating a strand of mRNA?
look for AUG
start at the beginning
look for ATG
