Multiple Choice

Through the process of transcription, DNA makes a complimentary strand of

• DNA

• RNA

• CNA

• PLB

Multiple Choice

After transcription mRNA goes from the nucleus to the _________.

• Ribosome

• Mitochondria

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Vacuoles

Making a Protein

After the process of transcription, mRNA is made (the "m" stands for messenger) and it sends the "message" of making a protein to the ribosome.

Translation-The Players

• Ribosomes (Protein factories)

• mRNA-messenger RNA (brings instructions)

• tRNA-transfer RNA (brings the parts)

• amino acids-the protein parts

Translation-The Game

• mRNA lands on a ribosome

• tRNA brings the amino acids to the ribosome

• Specific tRNA anticodons land on mRNA codons in a specific order

• 
  

What are codons and anti-codons?

• Codons-groups of 3 nitrogen bases on mRNA that tell tRNA which amino acid to bring or to start or stop translation

• Anticodons-groups of 3 nitrogen bases on tRNA that match with codons.

• 
  

Multiple Choice

If the mRNA codon is AUG, what would the matching tRNA anticodon be?

• UAC

• AUG

• TAC

• GUA

Amino Acids

These are the building blocks of proteins. There are 20 of them and they get glued together in specific orders to make proteins.

Amino Acid Order

We actually know which amino acids go with each codon!

Multiple Choice

If the mRNA codon is AUG, what amino acid would the tRNA bring?

• Met

• GLu

• Ala

• Phe
