What is the correct order to make a protein (protein synthesis)?

Not all answers will be used.

Protein

mRNA

DNA

Cytoplasm

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
4.

Why are proteins important?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

mRNA Strand:

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
14.

Which codon gives us this orange circle shape?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
15.

Which codon gives us this yellow triangle shape?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
16.

Click on the shape that represents the codon CCA

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
17.

Click on the shape that represents the codon AGU

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
18.

Let's start from DNA!

First we need to transcribe DNA to mRNA, then we can use the mRNA code to translate to the protein (shape).

Given the DNA sequence TAC, this would first be transcribed into the mRNA sequence .

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
19.

Given the DNA sequence AAA, this would first be transcribed into the mRNA sequence .

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

What does transcription look like?

Use each item ONE time.

22.

Given the DNA strand below, find the complementary mRNA strand.

TAC CAT GCT ATT

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
23.

Given the DNA strand below, find the complementary mRNA strand.

TAC AGC TCC ATC

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
24.

Given the DNA sequence CGT, this would first be transcribed into the mRNA sequence .

Use the codon chart below to answer the questions that follow.

Remember: start from the left side, then the top, and lastly the right side.

What is a codon?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
9.

Select all options that are codons:

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
10.

How many codons are in this strand?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
11.

The first letter of the codon tells us to look at the left side of the table to find the row.

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
12.

The second letter of the codon tells us to look at the top of the table to find the vertical column.

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
26.

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