Protein Synthesis

Lesson 4 of 4

Learning Targets

If given a DNA segment (gene), I can Transcribe, mRNA process, and Translate the gene into an amino acid chain.

Multiple Choice

Which 'summarizes' the key stages / steps of Protein Synthesis?

DNA to RNA to Amino Acids

Amino Acids to RNA to DNA

RNA to DNA to Amino Acids

DNA to Amino Acids to RNA

Multiple Choice

Once built, amino acid chains will ____ 'automatically' in order to form a functional molecule.

Fold

Activate

Terminate

Simulate

Multiple Choice

Three mRNA bases in sequence are referred to as...

A Gene

A Triplet

A codon

An Anti-codon

Multiple Choice

Three DNA bases in sequence are referred to as...

A Gene

A Triplet

A codon

An Anti-codon

Multiple Select

The purpose of mRNA processing is to...

Remove Exons from the RNA

Remove Introns from the RNA

Check the mRNA for mutations

Make the mRNA from DNA code

Add 5' Cap and Poly A tail to mRNA

Multiple Choice

Brings the amino acids to the ribosome.

mRNA

tRNA

rRNA

DNA

Multiple Choice

The process of 'reading' an mRNA to make a protein is called... (RNA to Amino Acid Chain)

Replication

Transcription

Translation

Cell Division

Multiple Choice

The process of making an mRNA strand from a DNA template is called

Replication

Transcription

Translation

Protein Synthesis

Find the 'start' of this gene below. Then transcribe the DNA code into a mRNA sequence. Please do this on a piece of paper. DO NOT REMOVE ANY INTRONS, yet:-)

TAT AAA TAT AAA TAC GGC CAT TTC ACC AAT ACA TCA ATT CAA TTT

Fill in the Blanks

Write your mRNA sequence for the DNA gene from the previous slide. Place one space between your RNA codons, but no space between the letters of the codon.

TAT AAA TAT AAA TAC GGC CAT TTC ACC AAT ACA TCA ATT CAA TTT

Type answer...

The proper mRNA sequence would be...

AUG CCG GUA AAG UUA UGU AGU UAA GUU AAA

Identify the 'intron' that is in this mRNA, cut it out and rewrite the combined pieces of mRNA that remain (Exons).

Fill in the Blanks

Using the same procedure to input your sequence. Input the sequence of the processed mRNA after you have removed the intron.

Unprocessed mRNA:

AUG CCG GUA AAG UGG UUA UGU AGU UAA GUU AAA

Type answer...

TRANSLATION: Write down the amino acid sequence as you will input this on the next slide.

mRNA to translate: AUG CCG UGG UUA AGA AGU UAA GUU AAA

Fill in the Blanks

AUG CCG UGG UUA AGA AGU UAA GUU AAA

Type answer...

Please transcribe the RNA, remove introns and then translate the DNA sequence below into an amino acid chain. Please use paper to do your work.

TAT AAA TAC GCC AAG GCC CAG GGA ATC CCA AAG ACT TAT CCA TTC

Fill in the Blanks

Input your amino acid sequence. Place one space between your amino acids. Use abbreviations.

Type answer...

Poll

Rate yourself...I can change DNA into its amino acid sequence.
