    Protein synthesis is the process by which the body makes proteins. It involves two main steps: transcription and translation. During transcription, mRNA copies DNA in the nucleus. The mRNA then leaves the nucleus and attaches to a ribosome in the cytoplasm. During translation, the mRNA is read three bases at a time, called codons, by the ribosome. tRNA brings amino acids to the ribosome based on the mRNA codons. The amino acids are linked together to form a protein chain until a stop codon is reached.

    PROTEIN SYNTHESIS WORKSHEET

    PART A. Read the following:


    Protein synthesis is the process used by the body to make proteins. The first step of protein synthesis is called
    Transcription. It occurs in the nucleus. During transcription, mRNA transcribes (copies) DNA. DNA is
    “unzipped” and the mRNA strand copies a strand of DNA. Once it does this, mRNA leaves the nucleus and
    goes into the cytoplasm. mRNA will then attach itself to a ribosome. The strand of mRNA is then read in order
    to make protein. They are read 3 bases at a time. These bases are called codons. tRNA is the fetching puppy.
    It brings the amino acids to the ribosome to help make the protein. The 3 bases on tRNA are called anti-codons.
    Remember, amino acids are the building blocks for protein. On the mRNA strand, there are start and stop
    codons. Your body knows where to start and stop making certain proteins. Just like when we read a sentence,
    we know when to start reading by the capitalized word and when to stop by the period.

    PART B. Answer the following questions on your paper:

    1. What is the first step of protein synthesis? Transcription


    2. What is the second step of protein synthesis? Translation
    3. Where does the first step of protein synthesis occur? nucleus
    4. Where does the second step of protein synthesis occur? ribosome
    5. Nitrogen bases are read 3 bases at a time.
    6. The bases on the mRNA strand are called codons
    7. The bases on tRNA are called anticodon.
    8. What is a start codon? marks the site at which translation into protein sequence begins
    9. What is a stop codon? marks the site at which translation ends.
    10. A bunch of amino acids attached together is called a protein.
    PART C. Use your codon chart or genetic code to determine the amino acid sequence. Remember to
    read through the strand and ONLY start on AUG and STOP when it tells you to stop. Follow example
    below:
