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.
