DNA and PROTEIN SYNTESIS REVIEW
1. DNA STRUCTURE- Use the keywords to fill in the blanks below:
Guanine
phosphate
nucleus
deoxyribonucleic acid adenine
Double
thymine
DNA
cytosine
Sugar
chromatin
double helix
bases
The instructions in the ______________ are carried in the genetic material, or _______. Together with
proteins, this makes up __________________. DNA stands for ______________________________ and
is a long, _____________ stranded molecule made up of _________________-________________
backbone and central rungs of __________________. This ladder-like shape is then twisted into what is
called the ______________ ________________.The bases include ________________,
________________, ________________ and _________________.

Once the cell determines it needs a specific ___________, it sends a ________________ to the nucleus.
There, the specific region of DNA that ___________ for the protein __________. A copy of __________
is then made. RNA stands for ___________________________, and it is a ____________ stranded
molecule made up of _________________-________________ backbone and central rungs of
__________________. The bases include ________________, ________________, ________________
and _________________ (NOT thymine!!!). Once built, the RNA then leaves the nucleus and finds a
__________________.

The ribosome reads the ____________ and builds an ________________ sequence based on the
instructions given by RNA. Every ____ bases of RNA codes for ______ amino acid. The amino acids
build a long chain like a pearl necklace. This ___________ then goes to the __________________,
where it is packaged and sent off to do its “job”.
6. AMINO ACID SEQUENCE- Predict the amino acid sequence for the strand of RNA given below.
Use the RNA sequence you created from step #4.
