Graded Activity: Transcription and Translation

Place the nucleotides in the correct order to create a complimentary strand of DNA.

Place the nucleotides in the correct order to create a strand of mRNA.

Using the new strand of mRNA that you just created in the last problem, as well as this codon chart, place the amino acids in the correct order.

1. Threonine (Thr)
2. Methionine (Met)
3. Leucine (Leu)
4. Stop

Given a 15 nucleotide section of mRNA, use the codon chart to determine the amino acids that make up the protein that this section of mRNA codes for.

Please write each amino acid using its 3 letter code in order and separated by commas. Stop can be written out fully.

(Example: Pro, Met, Val, His, Stop) <--- example only not the correct answer!
