Mrna Code Amino Acid AAA GCG GAU CAA CAC UUU: NAME

This document provides a review of the processes of replication, transcription, and translation. It includes examples of DNA and mRNA codes and asks the student to fill in complementary DNA strands, transcribe DNA into mRNA, use a decoding wheel to determine amino acids from mRNA codes, and describe the effects of mutations on protein production. The key processes covered are: - Replication uses complementary base pairing to copy DNA - Transcription uses DNA as a template to produce mRNA for translation - Translation uses mRNA codes to determine the sequence of amino acids in a protein with the help of tRNAs.
