Exercise 3: Protein Synthesis Protein synthesis is the process used by the body to make The first step of protein synthesis is called transcription. It occurs in the During transcription, mRNA transcribes (coples) DNA is "unzipped" and the mRNA strand coples one of the DNA strands. Once it does this, mRNA leaves the and goes into the mRNA will then attach itself to a The strand of mRNA is then read in order to make protein. Thoy are read 3 bases at a time. These bases are called tRNA is the fetching puppy. It brings the to the ribosome to help make the protein. The 3 bases on IRNA are called Remember, amino acids are the building blocks for On the mRNA strand, there are start and stop codons. Your body knows where to start and stop making certain proteins. Just like when we read a sentence, we know when to start reading by the capitalized word and when to stop by the period. Now practice your skills. 1. What is the start codon? 2. What are the stop codons? Use your codon chart to determine the amino acid sequence. Remember to read through the strand and ONLY start on the start codon and STOP when it tolls you to stop. Follow example below: Example: DNA \( \rightarrow \) AGA CGG TAC CTC CGG TGG GTG CTT GTC TGT ATC CTT CTC AGT ATC mRNA \( \rightarrow \) UCU GCC AUG GAG 3 A.
