Question

Complete the questions with the answers that apply to eukaryotic cells. Each answer may be used once, more than once, or not at all. Unless otherwise specified, each question should only get one answer/letter.

B) cytoplasm                           G) G2 phase    L) origin of replication              R) DNA polymerase X) RNA

C) cytosol                                H) mitosis        M) +1 transcription start site    S) dNTP’s   

D) mitochondrial matrix           I) meiosis         N) start codon                          T) NTP’s   

E) nucleus                               J) S phase      O) stop codon U) RNA polymerase

                                                                        P) terminator                            V) ribosome

1) What are the three specific locations within a eukaryotic cell that replications can occur? (3 Letters total)

2) What are the three specific locations within a eukaryotic cell that transcription can occur? (3 Letters total)

3) What are the four specific locations within a eukaryotic cell that translation can occur? (4 Letters total)

Answer 1

1) Replications can occur at these locations:

A) Chloroplast Stroma
D) Mitochondrial Matrix
E) Nucleus

These three organelles, the Nucleus, the Mitochondria, and the Chloroplast are organelles that have genomic DNA content that is replicated.

2) Transcription can also occur in the three localizations noted above. These are:

A) Chloroplast Stroma
D) Mitochondrial Matrix
E) Nucleus

The organelles, possessing genomes of their own also have active transcription.

3)

A) Chloroplast Stroma
B) cytoplasm
D) Mitochondrial Matrix
V) ribosome

The locations noted above have protein translation. The translation of nuclear genes is accomplished either in the cytoplasm or on the surface of Endoplasmic reticulums.
