Key Concept What is the role of RNA in protein production?
Directions: The diagram below shows one strand of a DNA molecule with six bases shown. A strand of mRNA
has just been created from those bases that will be used to make part of a protein. Write the letters of the
corresponding RNA bases on each line provided.
Directions: Answer each question on the lines provided.
28. What process is occurring here?
