Protein Synthesis

What is the goal of protein synthesis?

• to make DNA

• to make more genes

• to make proteins

• to make 1 amino acid only

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-1

1 amino acid is coded by

• 1 codon

• 1 anticodon

• 1 mRNA

• 1 DNA

process of DNA to mRNA

• DNA replication

• transcription

• translation

• protein synthesis

enzyme that unzips the DNA

• RNA Polymerase

• DNA Polymerase

• Helicase

• DNA

enzyme that adds new RNA nucleotides to make mRNA

• Helicase

• RNA Polymerase

• DNA Polymerase

• Helicase Polymerase

Place the order of events for

creating a protein in order (1- 6)

____mRNA attaches to rRNA

____codons are continuously read by tRNA

____tRNA reaches a stop codon

____ tRNA connects second amino acid by peptide bond to Methionine

____Polypeptide chain is created

____ mRNA’s start codon AUG is translated by tRNA’s anticodon (Methionine)

Place the order of events for

creating a protein in order (1- 4)

____RNA Polymerase reaches a termination/stopping point

____Helicase attaches and unzips the desired gene

____mRNA leaves the nucleus

____RNA Polymerase adds new RNA nucleotides and makes mRNA
