Protein Synthesis: Transcription & Translation

Process Fill in the arrows with the correct process.Word Bank:TranslationTranscription Transcription Translation Comparing Compare transcription and translation by placing the facts in the correct column. Transcription Occurs in the nucleus of a cell Requires RNA polymerase DNA to RNA Creates a strand of mRNA Translation Occurs in the ribosomes of a cell RNA to Protein Creates a polypeptide strand (AKA protein) Use the codon chart to transcribe and translate the following DNA sequence:**Remember** First you must transcribe DNA into mRNA. Make sure to put a space in between each codon (3 bases) and each amino acid. Capitalize the amino acids. If you don't do these two things, you will not get credit for the answers.

Step 1:mRNA strands are transcribedfrom DNA in the nucleus of the cell, because the DNA is too big to leave the nucleus.The process of synthesizing a protein is called translation. In other words, it translates the message carried on the mRNA into proteins. This occurs at ribosomesin the cytoplasm of a cell. Step 2:The mRNA must be translatedinto a protein. mRNA is read threeletters at a time, this three letter pair is called a codon.tRNA brings amino acidsthat match the codons from the cytoplasm to the mRNA. The Amino Acids then bind together to form a protein. Label Label the different parts the the tRNA.
