DATE: ______
GUIDE QUESTIONS
Transcription: 1. Which RNA nucleotide binds with adenine (A) on the DNA?
2. Why is an mRNA copy made of the DNA?
Translation:
3. How does the tRNA-mRNA interaction ensure that the amino acids are added in
the correct order?
4. One triplet (codon) of mRNA is GCC. What is the nucleotide sequence for the
complementary tRNA?
Protein folding: 5. The cell is an aqueous environment. Describe the locations of hydrophobic and
hydrophilic amino acids in a protein that folds within the cytoplasm of the cell.
How does the cell make proteins from the information in the DNA?
INTERACTIVE PROTEIN BUILDING
UNRAVEL THE PROTEIN SYNTHESIS
What is the role of DNA in the process of protein
synthesis?
How does the structure of DNA allow it to store
genetic information for protein production?
UNRAVEL THE PROTEIN SYNTHESIS
What are the key differences between
transcription and translation in protein synthesis?
transcription
translation
from DNA to protein
