Continuing on with Translation

Most of you had to make up your Daily Question quiz from Friday and then we started into some daily questions about Translation.

Monday April 16^th

During translation tRNA “transfers” what organic molecule to the ribosome? Amino Acids

The mRNA is read in sets of 3(Three) base pairs known as codons.  Each of these codes for an Amino Acid

EVERY Gene starts with what mRNA sequence? AUG

What amino acid does that code for? Amino Acids

    When does translation finish? (what part of mRNA) A Stop Codon

After that I went back over the notes we already took on translation and showed a clip that use digital animations to show you how the mRNA leaves the nucleus, enters the ribosomes and tRNA carries in the appropriate Amino Acids to build a protein. (Watch Below)
