Transcription and Translation Reinforcement

The document provides exercises on transcription and translation, including identifying amino acids from mRNA codons and vice versa. It covers the start and stop codons, as well as converting DNA sequences into mRNA and tRNA, and determining the corresponding amino acid sequences. The exercises emphasize the use of a codon chart for accurate translation.

Transcription and Translation Reinforcement

1. Use the codon chart to write the amino acid that corresponds to each codon found in mRNA:

Arginine
A G G ______________________ A G U ______________________

Iii
C A G ______________________ U A C ______________________

iii
G C A ______________________ C G U ______________________
U U U ______________________ C C A ______________________

2. Write the CODON that corresponds with each amino acid. There may be more than one.

arginine ______________________________ glycine _________________________


66
6T Yuu
valine ________________________________ phenylalanine ____________________
ACV
histidine ______________________________ threonine ________________________

3. A single codon is used to signal the beginning of protein synthesis. It is commonly called the
START CODON. Locate the start codon on your codon chart.
What are the three bases of this codon? __________
What is the amino acid associated with these letters? _______________

4. There are three codons that signal the end of synthesis, these are called STOP codons.
What are the three stop codons? ________________________________
UGA
UAA UAG
5. For each sequence of DNA shown below, write the complementary mRNA & tRNA sequence.
Then use the codon chart to determine the amino acid sequence. Be sure to begin at the start
codon and end at the stop codon.
