Directions: Using the following TEMPLATE strands, write out the complementary strand,

the mRNA strand, and use the Genetic Code table to write the sequence of amino acids
(3 letter abbreviations) of the protein for which the gene coded.

Translation

1. Complementary Strand:
Template Strand: 3 ATGCCGGTTAATTTCCCA 5
mRNA:
Amino Acids:
2. Complementary Stand:
Template Strand: 3ATGCGATTAGCGTATCCA 5
mRNA:
Amino Acids:
3. Between which two strands does transcription occur? Translation?
4. Why is the mRNA built off of the template DNA strand and not off of the complementary
strand?
