Which of the following is true of DNA transcription/translation?
A) Each codon corresponds to a different amino acid.
B) A DNA sequence codes for a protein.
C) A protein consists of a series of codons.
D) DNA is translated in mitosis, but transcribed in mitosis.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA transcription creates an RNA molecule that codes for a protein during the process of translation. Therefore, a DNA sequence codes for a protein. Option A is partially correct - each codon does correspond to a specific amino acid, but not all codons code for different amino acids. Option C is incorrect because a protein consists of a sequence of amino acids, not codons. Option D is incorrect because both transcription and translation occur in the nucleus during interphase, not in mitosis.
