In this activity you will trace the steps that are involved in protein synthesis.A. TranscriptionProtein synthesis begins with DNA in the nucleus. Transcription takes place in the nucleus of the cell. During transcription messenger RNA (mRNA) reads and copies DNA's nucleotide sequence in the form of a complimentary RNA strand. Then the mRNA carries the DNA's information in the form of codons to the ribosome. Codons are a 3 nucleotide sequence in an mRNA strand. At the ribosome, amino acids will be assembled to form a polypeptide, which will become a protein.Below is a DNA sequence. Write the sequence of mRNA codons that would result from the transcription of the DNA sequence.B. TranslationTranslation takes place on the ribosome. For translation, another type of RNA called transfer RNA (tRNA) is needed. tRNA is a molecule made up of 3 nucleotides called anticodons. Anticodons are complimentary to the codons of mRNA. Attached to the tRNA anticodons are amino acids. During translation a tRNA anticodon will bind to a specific mRNA codon and bring with it the specific amino acid coded for. As tRNA bring amino acids, the amino acids bond together forming polypeptide chains, which will form proteins.Rewrite your mRNA sequence from part A. Using the amino acid chart, determine the sequence of amino acids based on your mRNA strand. Use hyphens (dashes) to separate amino acids.181927583248500Label the following diagram of Protein Synthesis.29051251047750012345Answer the following questions about Protein Synthesis.List all of the molecules in the process transcription.Transcription takes place on the ____________________________________.List all of the molecules in the process translation.Translation takes place in the ___________________________________.Why do cells need protein synthesis to occur? ................
