Transcription and Translation Practice

Students practice how to convert DNA to mRNA to protein.

Notes
Took notes of the lettered bases of a DNA gene turning into mRNA. In mRNA, there are no T's allowed, they are replaced by U's. For mRNA to turn into a protein the base are grouped in threes, but you must start with AUG. The sets of three correspond with an amino acid from a table in the biology books, which are lined up to form a protein.



Utah transcribe and translate.
