Honors Biology Unit 4.4: Protein Synthesis

What is the goal of protein synthesis?

• to make DNA

• to make more genes

• to make proteins

• to make 1 amino acid only

NGSS.HS-LS1-1

1 amino acid is coded by a codon consisting of

• 3 nitrogenous bases

• 3 mRNAs

• 1rRNA

• 1 DNA molecule

Process of DNA serving as a template to make mRNA

• DNA replication

• transcription

• translation

• protein synthesis

Enzyme that unzips the DNA during replication.

• RNA Polymerase

• DNA Polymerase

• Helicase

• DNA

Enzyme that adds new RNA nucleotides to make mRNA

• Helicase

• RNA Polymerase

• DNA Polymerase

• Helicase Polymerase

Place the order of events for

creating a protein in order (1- 4)

1____RNA Polymerase reaches a termination/stopping point

2____RNA Polymerase binds to a gene at the promoter

3____mRNA leaves the nucleus

4____RNA Polymerase adds new RNA nucleotides and makes mRNA

• 3,1,4,2,

• 1,2,3,4

• 2,4,1,3

• 2,1,3,4
