PART C. Use your codon chart to determine the amino acid sequence. Remember
to read through the strand and ONLY start on AUG and STOP when it tells you to
stop. Follow example below:
Example:
DNA AGA CGG TAC CTC CGG TGG GTG CTT GTC TGT ATC CTT CTC AGT ATC
mRNA UCU GCC AUG GAG GCC ACC CAC GAA CAG ACA UAG GAA GAG UCA UAG
protein start - glu – ala –thre – hist – asp –glu – threo - stop

1. Draw a DNA nucleotide & an RNA nucleotide. Label each of the 3 major parts.
2. What are the three major differences between DNA & RNA?
a)
b)
c)
13. If you replaced a base at the beginning of mRNA during transcription, what
would be the effect on the resultant protein? What if you removed a base entirely?
14. Are there instances when the DNA>RNA>Protein sequence of information is not
adhered to? What are these instances?
