Protein Synthesis Workshee Worksheett Directions: 1. Use the DNA code to create your mRNA code. 2. Use the mRNA code to create your tRNA code. 3. Use the mRNA code and the Genetic Code to determine your amino acids. 4. Answer any questions by circling the correct answer. 1.

(RNA/amino) acids make up a protein. 10. A T G C T G T G G T A T G G G U A C G A C A C C A U A C C C A U G C U G U G G U A U G G G DNA mRNA tRNA Amino Acids TYR ASP THR 11. Transcription takes place in the (nucleus/cytoplasm). 12. tRNA is used in (translation/transcription). 13. tRNA uses (anticodons/codons) to match the mRNA. 14. Proteins are made at the (nucleus/ribosome). 15. (tRNA/mRNA) attaches the amino acids into a chain. 16. tRNA is found in the (nucleus/cytoplasm). 17. (Translation/Transcription) converts mRNA into a protein. 18. Translation takes place in the (cytoplasm/nucleus). 19. (DNA/RNA) can leave the nucleus. 20. (Translation/Transcription) converts DNA into mRNA. ILE PRO
