Sentence Code Sheet Each
“sentence code” below represents one side of a DNA strand. You must imagine that you have “unzipped” a DNA strand
and are now focusing on only one side. You will be transcribing the code into an m-RNA strand and further translating
the code using a tRNA molecule with an appropriate amino acid attached. You will, however, be creating a sentence
using words, rather than a protein using amino acids. Good Luck!
