Questions and Answers

What is the first step in the process described where DNA is converted to a protein?

  • The mRNA is translated into a protein
  • The DNA is read by the ribosome
  • The DNA is transcribed into mRNA (correct)
  • The protein is modified in the Golgi apparatus

    • What is the role of the ribosome in this process?

  • The ribosome packages the protein into vesicles
  • The ribosome transports the protein to the Golgi apparatus
  • The ribosome reads the mRNA and synthesizes the protein (correct)
  • The ribosome modifies the protein in the rough ER

    • Where does the protein go after it is synthesized by the ribosome?

  • The protein goes to the Golgi apparatus (correct)
  • The protein goes to the mitochondria
  • The protein goes to the nucleus
  • The protein goes directly to the blood stream

    • What type of modifications does the protein undergo in the rough ER?
