In model 2 , transcription is writing the code/message to make the proteins, what is the code?
mRNA
DNA
tRNA
What organelle has to translate the mRNA in order to place the amino acids in the correct order?
Ribosome
Nucleus
Vacuole
Mitochondria
What are Gly-Ser-Phe-Lys-Met that make the proteins?
Amino acids

Nucleic acids
What amino acid is UAG
Stop
Proline
Leucine
What amino acid is UCG?
Ser
Tyr

Leucine
Mutations can cause an early STOP codon that terminates translation early.
Which describes how these mutations could affect the production of proteins?
The genes may not be able to produce functional proteins-or the proteins they need
The genes might begin to produce more proteins than needed
The proteins could have their amino acids substituted in the sequences
