Codon Chart Practice
Reading Codon Charts Watch this first before doing this activity Codon Charts 1. Transcribe the DNA (top row) into mRNA (2nd row). 2. Finally, translate the mRNA into a chain of amino acids (bottom row). DNA T A C G A C T A T G C T A T T mRNA A U G C U G A U A C G A U A A Amino Acid Methionine Leucine Isoleucine Arginine Stop Codon Charts Fill in the missing work based on the codon chart and your previous knowledge of DNA and RNA DNA ACG UUU mRNA U G C AAA Amino Acid cysteine lysine Fill in the missing information Use the codon charts above to determine what is missing. FILL example 1 example 2 example 3 DNA ATG AAA ATT RNA UAC UUU UAA Amino Acid tyrosine phenylalanine stop
