Protein Synthesis Practice Worksheet

The document outlines the process of protein synthesis, detailing the two main steps: transcription and translation. It includes exercises for labeling images, modeling sequences, and describing the processes involved in protein synthesis. Additionally, it provides a table comparing DNA replication, transcription, and translation in terms of purpose, building blocks, and cellular location.

Protein Synthesis Practice


Part A: Complete questions 1-2 below.

1. What are the 2 steps of protein synthesis?


Transcription and translation

2. Using those 2 steps from above, label this image below:

1. Transcription 2. Translation

Part B: Model transcription and translation by using the appropriate DNA, mRNA, or amino acid
sequence/name. You will need to use a codon wheel or chart to determine the amino acids.

Part C: Give the appropriate descriptions to the images below.

Describe what is happening in


the first step of protein
synthesis (pictured on the right)
in 2 sentences.

DNA is unwinding and revealing the gene. mRNA is making a copy of the DNA as a template.

Describe what is happening in the


second step of protein synthesis
(pictured on the left). Be sure to use
the words: mRNA, ribosome, codon,
tRNA, anticodon, amino acid, and
protein.

mRNA nds a rRNA and binds to it where it is ready by tRNA. tRNA then brings in a amino acid that matches the codon and the
amino acids together form a protein.

Part D: Complete the table below.

DNA Replication Transcription Translation
