Exercise 3: Protein Synthesis Protein synthesis is the process used by the body to make

RNA The first step of protein synthesis is called transcription. It occurs in the

During transcription, mRNA transcribes (copies)

DNA is "unzipped" and the mRNA strand copies one of the DNA strands. Once it does this, mRNA leaves the

and goes into the

mRNA will then attach itself to a

The strand of mRNA is then read in order to make protein. They are read 3 bases at a time. These bases are called

tRNA is the fetching puppy. It brings the

to the ribosome to help make the protein. The 3 bases on tRNA are called Remember, amino acids are the building blocks for On the mRNA strand, there are start and stop codons. Your body knows where to start and stop making certain proteins. Just like when we read a sentence, we know when to start readina bv the capitalized word and when to stop by the period. Now practice your skills.
