Bioman Biology: The Fun Place to Learn Biology!



Protein Synthesis Race – to build a protein in this fun game about protein synthesis. Learn about transcription and translation as you build a protein the same way that a real cell does!Transcription:Transcription is the copying of a _________ (section of DNA).The following DNA nitrogen bases (found in nucleotides) match up to make the rungs of the DNA ladder:T: _____A: _____C: _____G: _____For transcription to occur, DNA must _____________. ____________ polymerase is used to add new RNA nucleotides to make RNA.In transcription, which bases match up?U: _____A: _____C: _____G: _____The mRNA will release from the DNA and to the _______________, the site of protein synthesis.For the game, use the directional keys/arrows to move the mRNA down and out of the nucleus.Both DNA and RNA are made of building blocks called ___________________.The enzyme that adds new nucleotides to build mRNA is called _______________________.DNA has _____ strands and mRNA has _____ strand of nucleotides.The function of mRNA is to:DNA _____________________ after transcription.Translation:Look at the mini-codon chart in the upper right corner. How many nucleotides make up a codon (section of mRNA): _________The “start” codon is ____ - ____ - ______A protein is a chain of ____________________ also called a polypeptide.Each codon codes for an _________________.Here is the mRNA sequence. Write the matching tRNA “anticodons” then play the game.tRNAmRNA AUG – UCA – AUG – UCA – AAA- GAC – CGA – AAA – GAC – CGA – UCA – AUG – AAA – UGAWhat happens to the tRNA after it brings the amino acids to the ribosome?Quiz:Define “translation”;Match the following terms:______ 2. TranslationA. triplets of tRNA_____ 3. mRNAB. brings amino acids to the ribosome______ 4. tRNAC. copies DNA code to take it from the nucleus to the ribosome______ 5. CodonsD. triplets of mRNA______ 6. AnticodonsE. another name for a protein______ 7. PolypeptideF. building blocks of proteins ................
