The document contains a 30-question pre-test about DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis. The questions cover topics such as DNA structure, base pairing, transcription, translation, and the flow of genetic information. The test was prepared by Frezel D. Ejemplar, a Teacher III of Science, for students in the Division of Capiz, Philippines to assess their understanding of key concepts related to DNA, RNA, and protein production.
