Part 2: Replication, Transcription and Translation
For each of the following sequences, fill in either the DNA, the mRNA sequence, the rRNA anticodons,
or the amino acid sequences that have been left blank. If several sequences might work choose any
one. Use the translation key to find the correct Amino Acid abbreviation. Record only the first THREE
letters of the amino acid!
