Skill 6: Given a sequence of DNA, write the complementary strand of DNA and the complementary strand of mRNA.
Skill 6: Given a sequence of DNA, write the complementary strand of DNA and the complementary strand of mRNA.
The diagram below shows an overview of transcription (writing mRNA from the DNA template) and translation (converting the mRNA instructions to a protein.) Take some time to analyze the image before moving one.

If you are in class, pick up a paper copy of this lab from the counter. You MAY NOT work on the same color DNA strip as your partners. If you are not in class for this activity, please print the document below, or expand it to full screen and write your answers in electronically. There is a back. The 'DNA' sequence you are working from and the amino acid decoding chart are below.

Skill 7: Translation - use an amino acid chart to determine which amino acids are coded for by the mRNA codons above. For the lab, use only the first (colorful) chart. Then, be sure to try the other two because you never know which one will be on the SOL test or my assessments.

This is another style of amino acid chart. Be sure you can use this one as well. It might be on the SOL test.
