DNA, Transcription, and Translation

This is a strand of DNA.

C-C-G-T-A-C-T

Identify the nucleotide sequence of the complimentary DNA strand.

• G-G-C-A-T-G-A

• G-G-C-U-A-C-U

This is a strand of DNA.

T-A-G-A-G-T-C

Identify the nucleotide sequence of the complimentary RNA strand.

• A-U-C-U-C-A-G

• A-T-C-T-C-A-G

What "message" does mRNA carry?

• the genetic code that forms proteins

• orders for making ribosomes

• the order of base pairs in complementary RNA strands

The process of making proteins is called
