Protein Synthesis Worksheet
1. In DNA, adenine binds with ____________ and guanine binds with _____________.
2. In RNA, adenine binds with ____________ and guanine binds with _____________.
3. Transcription takes place in the ________________; translation takes place in the _______________.
4. The monomers (building blocks) of nucleic acids are _____________.
5. The enzyme responsible for “unzipping” the DNA molecule in preparation for copying is
called ____________________________.
6. ____________-RNA is formed from one side of the DNA in a process called ______________.
7. When this “string” of RNA leaves the nucleus through a nuclear pore, it goes into the cytoplasm and binds to
another player, ____-RNA (the“site of protein synthesis”).
8. The ___-RNA code is “read” and a protein is assembled in a process called ___________________.
9. The monomers (building blocks) of proteins are _________________________, so another form of RNA is
necessary to deliver those building blocks to the site of protein synthesis. This is ___________RNA.
10. The 3 nitrogen bases of DNA are called ________________; the 3 nitrogen bases of ____________are called
anticodons; the 3 nitrogen bases of ____________are called codons.
11. All of the above steps take place during what PHASE of the cell cycle? ____________________
12. Know these steps in order, and be sure to learn the associated vocabulary.
13. Chromatin is __________________________________________________________________.
14. A chromosome is ______________________________________________________________.
15. A gene is _____________________________________________________________________.
16. The genome is _________________________________________________________________.
The following is the base sequence on one strand of a DNA molecule:
TAGACTTGCCAAAACGTAATTGACTATTCCTTATCCGCAATG
17. What is the base sequence of the complementary DNA strand?
18. What is the base sequence of the mRNA read from the original DNA strand?
19. Using the mRNA codon chart on the back, determine the order of the amino acids in the protein fragment
that would be made? Note: usually only the first 3 letters are used as an abbreviation.

20. Let’s translate that mRNA code into English alphabet symbols. What is the protein sentence?
Let’s try one more. Here’s the DNA sequence:
AGGGAGCCTCTCCAATCTACTGATTCGGGCATTGGACGGTACGGGTGG
21. What is the mRNA sequence read from that DNA strand?
22. What is the order of amino acids in the resulting protein?
24. What is the “DNA message” as read with the English alphabet symbols?
