Question

EXERCISE #2 – PROTEIN SYNTHESIS:

Protein synthesis has begun and a segment of DNA (a gene) is ready for the process. Take the below gene segment through the two stages of protein synthesis: transcription and translation. Write the correct base code (A, C, G, or U) in the boxes below to complete each stage. Finish below by identifying the amino acids which will bond together as a polypeptide chain and, ultimately, produce a protein.
