Tutorial 1: How to Determine mRNA from DNA and tRNA from mRNA

Watch this video if you do not understand how to go from DNA to mRNA or mRNA to tRNA.

Tutorial 2: How to Determine the Amino Acids from mRNA codons.

Watch this video if you do not know how to go from mRNA to amino acids.

Tip: Work this out on a sheet of paper and transfer it to the question.

Transcribe the DNA into mRNA (place a single space between each codon):
DNA: TAC AAA ATA GCG GTG ATC
 mRNA (codons): _______ 

Use the mRNA strand to identify the tRNA anticodons (place a single space between each anticodon).
tRNA (anticodons): _______ 

Use the mRNA codons and the codon key (above) to identify the amino acids.
Begin at the start codon (AUG) and stop at a stop codon.
Place a single space between each amino acid.
Aminos: _______ 

Tip: Work this out on a sheet of paper and transfer it to the question.

Transcribe the following DNA into an mRNA strand (place a single space between each codon):
DNA: AAA CGC TAC GAT CCA ACT
mRNA (codons): _______ 

Translate the mRNA strand you transcribed into tRNA anticodons (place a single space between each anticodon):.
tRNA (anticodons): _______ 

Using the codon key above, identify the amino acids that would be added (use the mRNA codons).
Start adding aminos at the start codon and stop adding them at a stop codon.
Place a single space between each amino acid.
Aminos: _______
