#604 - Protein Synthesis Practice

Write the sequence of RNA bases that would be transcribed from the sequence of bases below:

TACACGCAATTA

Use the space bar to separate your sequence into codons.

Use the genetic code chart provided above to translate your sequence of RNA base codons into an amino acid sequence to make a protein. Copy the three letters representing each amino acid as shown on the chart. Separate each of your amino acids from the others with a space.

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

1. RNA nucleotides match their bases to the bases on the DNA strand
2. The Stop codon is reached and mRNA leaves the nucleus with the copied strand of DNA
3. mRNA connects to the ribosome
4. Codons on the mRNA pair up with anti-codons on the tRNA
5. RNA Polymerase attaches to the DNA strand at the Start codon
6. Amino acids are added together with peptide bonds to make a polypeptide

Assign each of the characteristics below to either DNA or RNA.

Protein synthesis occurs in which order?

The process of copying a gene's DNA sequence into a sequence of RNA is called:

tRNA is involved in:

Which process is shown in the image below?

Use the image below to answer the following questions:

Hint: not ALL of the labels are used!

The order of the amino acid chain affects how the chain folds into a protein, which affects the shape of the protein, which then affects the function of the protein.

DNA is read in the ____________ direction and created in the ____________ direction.
