Transcript
NAME: ______________ Decoding DNA Use your knowledge of transcription and translation to decode this secret message! STEP 1: “Build” a mRNA molecule that is complimentary to the DNA molecule, base pair by base pair. (REMEMBER: in RNA, adenine pairs with uracil) STEP 2: Determine the tRNA codons that would compliment with the mRNA strand. STEP 3: Use the Codon Chart below to find the amino acid that each tRNA codon codes for. Write the one letter symbols to discover the secret message.
