Protein Synthesis Worksheet PART A. Read The Following Passage and Answer The Questions Below

Protein synthesis is a two-step process where mRNA transcribes DNA in the nucleus during transcription, then mRNA attaches to ribosomes in the cytoplasm during translation to make proteins using tRNA and amino acids. Codons of 3 bases on mRNA are read to bring the correct amino acids. Start and stop codons tell where to begin and end protein synthesis.

PROTEIN SYNTHESIS WORKSHEET

PART A. Read the following passage and answer the questions below.

Protein synthesis is the process used by the body to make proteins. The first step of protein synthesis is called
Transcription. It occurs in the nucleus. During transcription, mRNA transcribes (copies) DNA. DNA is
“unzipped” and the mRNA strand copies a strand of DNA. Once it does this, mRNA leaves the nucleus.
Translation, the second step, occurs in the cytoplasm on the ribosome. mRNA will then attach itself to a
ribosome. The strand of mRNA is then read in order to make protein. They are read 3 bases at a time. Three
bases is called a codon. tRNA brings the amino acids to the ribosome to help make the protein. The 3 bases on
tRNA are called anti-codons. Remember, amino acids are the building blocks for protein. On the mRNA
strand, there are start and stop codons. They tell your body where to start and stop making certain proteins.
