DNA

Replica-
tion As-
signment
Instructions: For
this assignment, you
will replicate DNA to
make a complimen-
tary strand of DNA.
Then
transcribe the com-
plimentary DNA se-
quence into mRNA.
Next, translate the
mRNA molecule into
the codes for
specific amino acids
using the amino
acid chart on the
last page. Lastly,
address the reflec-
tion questions.

Replicate the follow-
ing strand of DNA:
