Protein Synthesis Task Cards-1

This document appears to be a set of task cards related to protein synthesis. It includes 16 task cards with questions about various aspects of protein synthesis, such as which nitrogenous base replaces thymine in RNA, the steps of protein synthesis, the role of mRNA, tRNA, introns and exons, codons, and anticodons. A student is instructed to complete the task cards as they rotate through protein synthesis stations and fill out a chart summarizing their answers.
