From numbers 16 – 28, read the questions and identify the answer from the word box below.

What do you call the process of producing proteins? 16.Protein Synthesis

The first stage of protein synthesis is 17.Transcription and it happens in the 18. Nucleus of the cell. 19.mRNA
enters the nucleus and rewrites the DNA code. This new information is called 20. Codon.
The second stage of protein synthesis is 21. Translation and it happens in the 22. Ribosomes. of the cell. The
codon carried by the mRNA is converted into a sequence of amino acid that will form into protein molecule.
23. tRNA helps in this process which one end of it carries the special triplet of nitrogenous bases called 24.
anticodon and the other end carries an 25. amino acid. As this process continues, a sequence of amino acid is
formed called 26. polypeptide.
Protein synthesis begins with 27.start and ends with 28. stop codons.
29. Neurons are cells with the special ability to carry signals or impulses. ________ is a combination of an
electrical charge and a chemical reaction.
A. Neurotransmitter B. Synapse C. Nerve Impulse D. Stimulus
30. Negative feedback mechanism is a control system to reduce or minimize any changes or conditions of the
body. The following are examples of negative feed mechanism except.
A. Thermoregulation C. Blood sugar regulation
B. Osmoregulation D. Blood Clotting
31. It is the monthly changes or discharge of blood and the uterine lining or endometrium from the vagina.
A. Menstruation B. Ovulation C. Monthly Cycle D. Mechanism
32 Protein synthesis begins with a start codon__________.
A. UGA B. UAA C. AUG D. UAG
33. The following are the sequences of stop codon except
A. UAA B. UGA C. UUA D. UAG
34. Codon (mRNA): CUA ; Anticodon (tRNA):______________
A. GAU B.GUA C. CAU D.GAT
35. When the polypeptide chain detaches from mRNA it signals the _________________.
A. The end of transcription process. B. The protein synthesis is still incomplete.
C. The end of the translation process. D. Both A and B

variables, except:
A. Body temperature C. Blood calcium level
