1. Protein Synthesis Worksheet Packet

2. Base Pairing Rules For DNA and RNA
A (Adenine) always pairs with T (Thymine)
T (Thymine) always pairs with A (Adenine)
A and T go together!
C (Cytosine) always pairs with G (Guanine)
G (Guanine) always pairs with C (Cytosine)
C and G go together!
A (Adenine) always pairs with U (Uracil)
U (Uracil) always pairs with A (Adenine)
A and U go together!
C (Cytosine) always pairs with G (Guanine)
G (Guanine) always pairs with C (Cytosine)
C and G go together!

3. First Set of DNA and RNA A T G G T A G C T A A C C T T DNA T A C C A T
Notice that A’s pair with T’s and C’s pair with G’s
DNA T A C C A T C G A T T G G A A A U G G U A G C U A A C C U U
mRNA
U goes with A this time because it is in RNA (not DNA anymore!!!) U A C C A U C G A U U G G A A
tRNA

4. Amino Acids Do not worry about how to do the amino acids
I will show you how to do that when I return tomorrow
