4. tRNA carrying amino acids mRNA
Start U
anticodon U
codon
glycine U U
proline U
Define codon and anticodon
in your notebook
2. Include a memory cue..
mRNA takes DNA’s message
to the ribosome.

5. tRNA uses mRNA template to assemble amino acids into a protein.
Start U
This process is
Known as
Translation.
Using this slide
and the next,
summarize
translation on
your organizer. U
glycine U U
proline U
tRNA uses mRNA template to assemble amino acids
into a protein.

6. RNA can be reused.
Start
glycine
proline
Growing peptide
chain (eventually
becomes a protein)
Amino acids will keep being added according to the
instructions until a stop code is reached.
