mRNA Strand:
The Codon Chart below will help us find what the mRNA strand is coding!
To use this chart, you will need one Codon (set of 3 nitrogen bases).
Codon Example: AUC
Each codon will give information for one amino acid.
The first letter tells you which row (side-to-side) by looking at the left side of the table.
The second letter tells you which column (vertical) by looking at the top.

Which codon gives us this blue heart shape?

Which codon gives us this orange circle shape?

Which codon gives us this yellow triangle shape?

Click on the shape that represents the codon CCA

Click on the shape that represents the codon AGU

Given the DNA sequence TAC, this would first be transcribed into the mRNA sequence and then translated into this protein shape .

Given the DNA sequence AAA, this would first be transcribed into the mRNA sequence and then translated into this protein shape .

What does transcription look like?
Use each item ONE time.

The image below shows the proteins that build the physical trait of eye color.

What makes each eye color different?
Given the DNA strand below, find the complementary mRNA strand.
Given the DNA strand below, find the complementary mRNA strand.
Given the DNA sequence CGT, this would first be transcribed into the mRNA sequence and then translated into the protein shape .


Given the mRNA sequence below, find the protein that would be produced.

What is a codon?
Select all options that are codons:
How many codons are in this strand?

The first letter of the codon tells us to look at the left side of the table to find the row.
The second letter of the codon tells us to look at the top of the table to find the vertical column.
Given the DNA sequence below, find the protein that would be produced.
