A few genes produce regulatory molecules that help the cell assemble proteins. The journey from gene to protein is complex and tightly controlled within each cell. Which of the following statements best describes the role of DNA and RNA in protein synthesis? * A. DNA is the primary genetic material contained within a cell. B. DNA is the long-term storage while RNA is the messenger containing instruction from DNA C.

Which characteristic of mRNA is INCORRECT? Bacterial mRNAs vary in size but usually have about 1000 nucleotides that code for proteins with 300 amino acids. Bacterial mRNA is longer and more modified than that found in Eukaryotes. Before leaving the nucleus, Eukaryote mRNA has to be capped, spliced and had poly (A) tails added making it longer than Bacterial mRNA. The codons produced in Bacterial mRNA are triplets, just as they are in Eukaryotic mRNA.
Which of the following BEST describes the characteristics and function of siRNA? A. a short strand of RNA that can complement and inactivate a sequence of mRNA B. a short strand of RNA that can act as a transcription factor to initiate transcription C. a strand of DNA that can bind to and inactivate an mRNA sequence D. a tRNA that is not able to attach to a ribosome and therefore inhibits the process of translation
Which of the following, if any, cannot be genetically encoded in DNA? a)mRNA b)tRNA c)rRNA (RNA part of the ribosome) d)RNA parts of the spliceosome e)They must all be encoded in DNA
