Chapter 12- Protein Synthesis Worksheet

Protein synthesis is a complex process made up of the 2 processes transcription and translation. In this activity
you will trace the steps that are involved in protein synthesis.

A. Transcription
Protein synthesis begins with DNA in the nucleus. Transcription takes place in the nucleus of the cell. During
transcription messenger RNA (mRNA) reads and copies DNA's nucleotide sequence in the form of a
complimentary RNA strand. Then the mRNA carries the DNA's information in the form of codons to the
ribosome. Codons are a 3 nucleotide sequence in an mRNA strand. At the ribosome, amino acids will be
assembled to form a polypeptide, which will become a protein.

Below is a DNA sequence. Write the sequence of mRNA codons that would result from the transcription of
the DNA sequence.

mRNA:

B. Translation
Translation takes place on the ribosome. For translation, another type of RNA called transfer RNA (tRNA)
is needed. tRNA is a molecule made up of 3 nucleotides called anticodons. Anticodons are complimentary
to the codons of mRNA. Attached to the tRNA anticodons are amino acids. During translation a tRNA
anticodon will bind to a specific mRNA codon and bring with it the specific amino acid coded for. As tRNA
bring amino acids, the amino acids bond together forming polypeptide chains, which will form proteins.

Rewrite your mRNA sequence from part A. Using the amino acids table, determine the sequence of amino
acids based on your mRNA strand. Use hyphens (dashes) to separate amino acids.
