Three Types of RNA

• Messenger RNA (mRNA) : carries the DNA code to the ribosomes

• Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) : makes up the ribosomes that reads the mRNA to build the correct amino acid sequence

• Transfer RNA (tRNA) : brings the amino acids to the ribosome

What is the role of DNA and RNA in protein synthesis?

• Explain the purpose and process of transcription and translation using models of DNA and RNA

Criteria for Success:

• Recognize that DNA holds the code in its sequence of bases to make a polypeptide or protein.
• Explain: transcription and translation may be explained using models to represent molecules and processes.
• Recognize that cells use multiple forms of RNA to assemble proteins from the code provided by DNA.
• Identify ribosomes as the assembly sites for proteins.

• Answer the questions from the presentation
• Complete the transcription / translation activity using the genetic code.
