Protein Synthesis Activity Worksheet

The document outlines an application of protein synthesis, requiring students to trace the path of blood and identify missing structures in a diagram. It includes tasks to determine the mRNA sequence from a given DNA sequence and to identify the corresponding amino acids. Additionally, students are asked to transcribe and translate genes to predict the appearance of a fictitious organism and sketch it.

Application of Protein Synthesis


Part I. Trace the path of blood by identifying the missing structures in the given diagram.

1. Using the DNA sequence below determine the sequence of the mRNA

TAC – GCA – AGC – GAA – CTA – TTG – CAC – TAT – AAT – ACT
Codon: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
mRNA: _________________________________________________________

2. From the given mRNA molecule determine the amino acid represented by each codon in your mRNA molecule.

Amino Acid #1 _______________


Amino Acid #2 _______________
Amino Acid #3 _______________
Amino Acid #4 _______________
Amino Acid #5 _______________
Amino Acid #6 _______________
Amino Acid #7 _______________
Amino Acid #8 _______________
Amino Acid #9 _______________
Amino Acid #10 _______________

Part II.
A. Using the genetic code, transcribe and translate the following genes to predict how a fictitious organism will appear
by sketching it. Use the hypothetical tables 1 and 2 to predict its appearance of the fictitious organism. Give a name for
your fictitious (make-believe) organism.
Use the following example as guide to answer the activity.

Example:

B. Draw a representation of your organism at the back of then activity sheet
