DNA and Protein Synthesis Study Guide

Match the process to the name

• DNA -> mRNA

• DNA Replication

• mRNA -> Protein

• Translation

• DNA -> DNA

• Transcription

Put the steps of Protein Synthesis in order

• RNA polymerase unwinds DNA

• mRNA is made as a copy of a DNA segment

• mRNA leaves the nucleus and attaches to the ribosome

• tRNA molecules bring amino acids to the ribosome.

• Amino acids bond to form a polypeptide (future protein)
