Translation

During translation, transfer RNA (tRNA) anticodons match to messenger RNA (mRNA) codons.

Each tRNA molecule can carry one particular amino acid. The amino acids are joined to form a

polypeptide.

Follow the directions.

1. Number the four tRNA anticodons in the order in which they should appear to match the

codons in the mRNA strand.

mRNA

leucine

lysine

phenylalanine

methionine

__________

Answer the questions.

2. Which anticodon matches the mRNA codon UUC?

3. Which amino acid is carried by the anticodon UUU?

4. List the amino acids in the order they would appear in the polypeptide coded for by the

mRNA.
