3. Let’s recap Protein Synthesis with Hank:

4. Recap Questions: Where does transcription occur?
What does the m in mRNA stand for?
What happens to the mRNA molecule directly after transcription?
Describe the shape of a tRNA molecule
What does the t in tRNA stand for?
Where does translation occur?
What causes the polypeptide chain to fold into a 3D protein?
