Protein Synthesis Lesson

​Protein Synthesis

• Trascription: DNA --> RNA (happens in nucleus

• Translation: RNA --> Protein (happens in cytoplasm)

​DNA--> RNA --> PROTEIN

​BIG WORDS THAT SIMPLY MEAN: "MAKING PROTEINS"

Multiple Choice

Multiple Choice

What amino acid is represented by the codon UUA?

• Phenylalanine

• Tyrosine

• Leucine

• Stop codon

Multiple Choice

What amino acid is represented by the codon AUG?

• Phenylalanine

• Methionine

• Leucine

• Stop codon

Multiple Choice

What amino acid would be added to the protein being formed during translation if the mRNA codon reads "CCU?"

• Isoleucine

• Stop

• Methionine

• Proline

Multiple Choice

What is the correct amino acid sequence for the mRNA code AUG GCA AAC CGU

• Met-Ala-Asn-Ala

• Met-Ala (because the third codon codes for STOP)

• Ileu-Ala-Asn-Ala

• Met-Ala-Asn-Arg

• Ileu-Ala-Asn-Ala
