Final Jeopardy
Take the following DNA strand and follow it from
transcription and translation to the formation of the protein
(you’ll have to use your mRNA chart).
GAGTTCACGAAG
mRNA: CUCAAGUGCUUC – created from DNA in the
nucleus – then leaves nucleus and binds to ribosome
tRNA: GAG UUC ACG AAG – anticodons created from
mRNA molecule – tRNA goes and picks up matching amino
acids
Amino acid sequence: Glu – Phen – Thr – Lys - amino acids
joined together by peptide bonds. tRNA is then released back
into the cytosol to be used again.
