Modeling Translation Worksheet
Analysis Questions:
1. What is the name of the process where the information on mRNA is used
to make proteins? translation
2. What organelle in the cell makes proteins? ribosomes
3. What is strung together to make proteins? Amino acids
4. What kind of RNA brings (carries) the amino acids to the ribosomes?
tRNA
5. What does rRNA (ribosomal RNA) do? Makes up the ribosome
6. The _____anticodon__________ on the tRNA matches
complementary with the __codon_______ on the mRNA.
7. What is the only start codon? AUG
8. How many tRNAs can fit into a ribosome at one time? 2 (can accept 3
because it shows it in the video clips)
9. If the codon on mRNA is UUA, what is the anticodon that pairs with it?
