Protein Synthesis Quiz

This document contains a protein synthesis quiz with multiple choice and short answer questions about the stages and key components of protein synthesis. It asks students to identify which stages occur during transcription or translation, the functions of different RNAs, define codons and anticodons, and explain the roles of tRNA and why RNA acts as an intermediary in protein synthesis. Students are also asked to compare and contrast DNA replication and protein synthesis, and explain how DNA serves as the "blueprint" for humans given its role in protein synthesis.
