Protein Synthesis Quiz Review

Protein Synthesis

the process of assembling proteins!

2 parts:

1. Transcription (make mRNA from DNA and it will exit nucleus)

2. Translation (at ribosome, mRNA is read to put together amino acids and create a polypeptide that will fold into a protein)

Process at the nucleus through with mRNA is made as a complementary copy of DNA!

(like taking 1 recipe from a huge cookbook)

​

​Transcription

Process through which the mRNA is at the ribosome and it is read to make a long chain of amino acids (a polypeptide). Once finished, it will fold into a protein!

(like putting together the ingredients from the recipe and making a cake)

​

​Translation

Read from left, top then right!

Example:

UUU - ___________

CAG - ___________
