DNA Message Number
Copy the DNA Message
Complementary DNA chain
mRNA from the Original DNA Message
Circle the codons on the mRNA above starting with the Start Codon (AUG) and end at the Stop Codon (UAG)
Determine the AntiCodons for the Codons circled above.
Find the words that the tRNA would represent and determine the message.
DNA Message Number
Copy the DNA Message
Complementary DNA chain
mRNA from the Original DNA Message
Circle the codons on the mRNA above starting with the Start Codon (AUG) and end at the Stop Codon (UAG)
Determine the AntiCodons for the Codons circled above.
Find the words that the tRNA would represent and determine the message.
Analysis:
1. How is complementary base paring different when pairing DNA to DNA than when pairing
DNA to mRNA?
2. What is the role of each of the following molecules in protein synthesis?
a. DNA
b. mRNA
c. tRNA
d. Amino Acids
3. What is the process of transcription?
4. What location in the cell does transcription occur?
5. What is the process of translation?
6. What location in the cell does translation occur?
7. During the simulation, why were the words of the message written on the back of the tRNA
cards?
8. Compare and contrast DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase?
9. Does transcription and translation start at the first nucleotide of the gene? Explain your
answer.
10. Explain the difference between a codon and an anticodon.
11. What would happen to the message if you accidently wrote down the wrong letter when you
were copying the DNA? Explain your answer.
12. Do you think it would make a bigger difference if you wrote the wrong letter or left a letter
out? Explain your answer.
13. How did you know where to on the chain to start and stop making codons?
14. Name three differences between DNA and RNA
