Click "Translate" in the above simulation and watch each step.
Click "Reset" then click "Translate Step by Step" to help help you answer the below questions.
Recommendation - open the hint and read the rules.
a.) What was the first codon on the mRNA that paired with an anticodon on a tRNA?
b.) What was the sequence of nucleotides on the first anticodon of the tRNA?
c.) What amino acid was laid down first?
d.) List the amino acids in order, from the first to the last; connect each with a hyphen (-)
The capitalized 'I' in this simulation can resemble a lowercase 'L' ('l'); but remember, the first letter of all aminos must be capitalized, don't be fooled by this.
e.) How many amino acids are in the polypeptide of the simulation?
f.) What codon was not translated into an amino acid?
g.) What would this codon be called?
Take a screen shot of the polypeptide chain formed in the simulation and attach it here.

Use your own words to describe the role of the three different RNA’s in the process of Translation/protein synthesis that you observed in the simulation.
Use your own words, in other words, do not copy and paste information from the internet; just describe what you see happening in the simulation.
The table below matches English letters to mRNA codons.
Type your first and last name - if they are short, include your middle name.
Using the table to the left, convert your name into a string of mRNA codons.
Remember, the nucleotides in the codons must be uppercase.
Place a single space between each codon.
Transfer the codons from #5 to this blank.
Using the codon chart to the left, convert your mRNA codons into amino acids.
Rules:
Amino acid abbreviations - first letter is capitalized, next two letters are lowercase.
You would normally begin translating (laying down aminos) at the start codon (AUG); for this activity, just begin with the first codon.
Connect each amino acid with a hyphen (-).
Even though we didn't use them as they are designed, which letter of the English alphabet corresponds to the start codon?
Did your name have a stop codon to stop translation before you came to the end of your chain of codons? Explain.
