question 1
to get the correct amino acid, you match it up with the anti - codon sequence
true
false

question 2
rna polymerase add rna nucleotides in the 5 to 3 direction using the dna template strand
true
false

Explanation:

QUESTION 1

To determine the correct amino acid, the codon (on mRNA) is matched with the anti - codon (on tRNA), and the tRNA carries the corresponding amino acid. So the statement "To get the correct amino acid, you match it up with the anti - codon sequence" is False because it's the codon - anti - codon interaction, but the key is that the amino acid is determined by the codon (and the anti - codon pairs with the codon to bring the right amino acid, but the matching for the amino acid is via the codon - anti - codon pairing where the codon is the key for the amino acid code).

RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA in the 5' to 3' direction using the DNA template strand (which is read in the 3' to 5' direction). So the statement "RNA polymerase add RNA nucleotides in the 5’ to 3’ direction using the DNA template strand" is True.

Answer:

False
