Protein Synthesis - Codon Chart & Wheel Practice

Use your Codon chart/wheel to determine the amino acid to the corresponding codon:

AUG

• Leucine

• Proline

• Asparagine

• Methionine

What amino acid is represented by the codon UUA?

• Phenylalanine
• Tyrosine
• Leucine
• Stop codon

The main function of tRNA is to...

• carry a message that, when translated, forms proteins
• form a portion of ribosomes
• string together complementary RNA and DNA strands
• bring amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosomes

What is the correct amino acid sequence for the mRNA code AUG-CCA-GUA-UGA

• Met-Pro-Ala-Val
• Met-Pro-Val
• Tyr-Gly-His
• Tyr-Gly-Arg-His

Using the codon identify the amino acid sequence:
AUG-CCA-GUA-GGG-UAA

• MET-HIS-ALA-GLY-STOP
• MET-PRO-GLY-VAL-STOP
• MET-PRO-VAL-GLY-STOP
• MET-THR-SER-ASP-STOP

What is the correct sequence of Protein Synthesis?

• RNA --> DNA --> Protein
• Protein --> RNA --> DNA
• DNA --> RNA --> Protein
• DNA --> Protein --> RNA
