Use the genetic code chart provided above to translate your MRNA from Question 1 into an amino acid sequence to make a protein. Use the first 3 letters of each amino acid in your answer and separate each of your amino acids from the others with a space. Example: MET HIS PRO LEU STOP

Put the steps of transcription and translation in the order that they occur in.

  1. Amino acids are added together with peptide bonds to make a protein. Translation is complete.
  2. The Stop codon is reached and mRNA leaves the nucleus with the copied strand of DNA.
  3. Transcription begins when DNA is "unzipped" beginning at a start codon.
  4. Codons on the mRNA pair up with anti-codons on the tRNA, which brings in the correct amino acids.
  5. RNA nucleotides match their bases to the bases on one of the DNA strands and a strand of mRNA is made.
  6. mRNA connects to the ribosome and translation begins.
