From Gene
To Protein

List the order of the nitrogen bases for the DNA strand to be transcribed by mRNA

Now, list the order of the nitrogen bases for the mRNA strand

List the color of the circles that were translated by the mRNA. Make sure they are in the correct order!

Using the attached “Genetic Code” chart, identify the correct amino acid coded.

Now, that you’ve mastered the art of “transcription” and “translation”, it is your turn to create a “ Message”. Be sure to include the DNA strand and the message that should be translated.

You may do more than one!

Code Challenge!
