Objective: To determine the amino acid sequence that would be produced by the mRNA created in the RNA Translation Activity
Materials:
Your mRNA model
mRNA Codon – Amino Acid Table
Procedure:
1. Beginning with the 1st three bases on your mRNA model, use the table below to determine what amino acid each mRNA codon will code for.
2. Write the amino acid chain produced in the space provided for Conclusion #1.
