How do you know when to begin translating a strand of mRNA?

• look for AUG

• start at the beginning

• look for ATG

• when Ms. H tells me to

How do you know when to STOP translating a strand of mRNA?

• look for STOP on the decoder

• stop at the end of the strand

• you don't

• when Ms. H tells me to
