Protein Synthesis Review EQ: How do we get from DNA to Protein?
How does the ribosome ‘read’ mRNA? • CODONS! • Example: The codon AUG codes for Methionine. • mRNA is made of three letter words (codons) that code for specific amino acids.
Use your amino acid chart to ‘decode’ the following mRNA codons:
Take out your Protein Synthesis Practice worksheet and get ready to TRANSLATE!
Ticket Out the Door!1. Replicate the template DNA strand.2. Transcribe the DNA strand you replicated into mRNA3. Translate the mRNA strand with your amino acid chart
