Question

In questions 10-26 you will use transcription and translation to determine the traits of a monster.
Step 1: Transcription Step 2: Translation Step 3: Match the protein to the resulting trait.

10. HEAD SHAPE Transcription: DNA strand: TACGGTGAAACT
mRNA strand: _____________
Translation: Now, use the chart (above) to determine the amino acids belonging to each codon.
AUG CCA CUU UGA
11.________ 12.________ 13.________ 14.___________

Assistance at this? :)

Answer 1

This is asking for the DNA strand to be converted to RNA and the codon's correct?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Do you need help?

Answer 4

TACGGTGAAACT would be AUGCCACUUGA?

Just confirmation would help :)

Answer 5

TACGGTGAAACT would be AUGCCACUUUGA

Answer 6

You missed an "U"

Answer 7

AUG=Met CCA=Pro CUU=Leu UGA=Stop

Doh!

Answer 8

@RhythmicTune

Correct, because this is not yet, DNA replication, since transcription is the synthesis of the mRNA strand you did exactly the correct thing.

Answer 9

yes. you are correct by this time

Answer 10

Yes, your correct, since you made your mRNA strand to make the protein, the first protein will make Met.

Answer 11

Met = start codon, so that would make sense if that's the first protein made.

Answer 12

15. BODY SHAPE Transcription: DNA strand: TACCTTGTAATT

mRNA strand: _______________
Translation: determine the amino acids resulting from each codon.
AUG GAA CAU UAA
16.___________ 17.___________ 18. ___________ 19.____________

AUGGAACAUUAA?

Met, Glu, His, and Leu?

Answer 13

So basically what you just did was, you took a template strand of DNA, and made mRNA, and this mRNA will now be used to make proteins.
