How do cells make proteins?
Standard: All cells contain genetic information in
the form of DNA molecules. Genes are regions
in the DNA that contain the instructions that code
for the formation of proteins, which carry out
most of the work of cells.

Primary Investigation
Write the question and answer in a complete sentence.
• Q1: What is the role of transcription in
making proteins? Page 301
• Q2: What is the role translation of in
making proteins? Page 304
• Q3: How are codons different than
anticodons? Page 302, 304
Codon and Anticodon
• Also, tRNA has anticodons that match up with
the complimentary triplet codons on the mRNA.
• Transfer RNA has attached amino acids.
