1. Where is mRNA synthesized, transcription or translation?
2. Does mRNA have codons or anti-codons?
3. How many codons equal one amino acid, 1 or 3?
4. Does tRNA bring amino acid to the nucleus or ribosomes?
5. Is a polypeptide a sequence of proteins or amino acids?
6. Does tRNA have codons or anti-codons?
7. Does tRNA transfer amino acids during transcription or translation?
8. Are ribosomes the site where translations or transcription takes place?
