Name: ___________________ Translation: From RNA to Protein 1. Where does mRNA come from? 2. Where does translation take place in a eukaryotic cell? What is translation? 3. What is the role of the mRNA codon? 4. What is the role of the tRNA anticodon? 5. What is the role of ribosomes in protein production? 6. Below you’ll be given an mRNA codon. Write down the tRNA anticodon and the corresponding amino acid that the codon codes for. You will need the handout Genetic Code. mRNA codon tRNA anticodon Amino acid (AA) UAC CGU AUG UUC AAA AUU AAC CCA 1 AAG UGA 7. What binds amino acids together in a protein? (You will need to think back to the section on macromolecules. It is a specific type of bond) 8. Why is the genetic code called a “universal” code? 9. Summarize how proteins are made. 2
