```

#### Instructions for Translation

3. **mRNA Translation**
   - Your mRNA will now be translated. Refer to the genetic code on page 2.

   **Steps:**
   a. **Copy your mRNA strand below for convenience.**

   b. **Identify the Start Codon**
      - Find and underline the first `AUG` you see. This is the start codon and the ribosome begins translation here.

   c. **Identify Codons**
      - Underline every codon (three bases) after the `AUG`. The ribosome reads each codon to determine which amino acid should come next.

   d. **Translate the Sequence**
      - Translate the mRNA and write the 3-letter abbreviation for each amino acid below each codon.

#### Spaces for Completion

- **mRNA:**
  ```
  (Write the transcribed mRNA strand here)
  ```

- **Protein:**
  ```
  (Write the translated protein sequence here)
  ```

### Genetic Code Chart

This image depicts a standard genetic code chart used to translate mRNA codons into amino acids.

#### Codon Chart Layout:

- **Columns and Rows**: The chart is a 4x4 grid representing the possible combinations of nucleotides in mRNA codons. Each codon consists of three nucleotides represented by the letters U, C, A, and G.
  - **First Letter (Vertical on Left)**: Indicates the first nucleotide of the codon.
  - **Second Letter (Horizontal at Top)**: Indicates the second nucleotide of the codon.
  - **Third Letter (Vertical on Right)**: Indicates the third nucleotide of the codon.

#### Codons and Corresponding Amino Acids:

- Each cell in the grid contains the three-nucleotide codon and its corresponding amino acid abbreviation:
  - **UUU, UUC**: Phenylalanine (Phe)
  - **UUA, UUG, CUU, CUC, CUA, CUG**: Leucine (Leu)
  - **UCU, UCC, UCA, UCG**: Serine (Ser)
  - **UAU, UAC**: Tyrosine (Tyr)
  - **UAA, UAG, UGA**: Stop codons, indicating the termination of protein synthesis.
  - **UGU, UGC**: Cysteine (Cys)
  - **UGG**: Tryptophan (Trp)
  - **CUC, CCA, CCG**: Proline (Pro)
  - **CAU, CAC**: Histidine (His)
  - **CAA, CAG**: Glutamine (Gln)
  - **CGU, CGC, CGA, CGG**: Arginine (Arg)
  - **AUU, AUC, AUA**: Isoleucine (Ile)
  - **AUG**: Methionine (Met) and also serves as a start codon.
  - **ACU, ACC, ACA, ACG**: Threonine (Thr)
  - **AAU, AAC**: Asparagine (Asn)
  - **AAA, AAG**: Lysine (Lys)
  - **AGU, AGC**: Serine (Ser)
  - **AGA, AGG

Expert Solution
Step 1

Inside the nucleus of the cell , DNA act as a  template for the manufacturing of single strand of mRNA. This is called transcription . mRNA is always read from 5' - 3' Direction.

Similarly , inside the cytoplasm of the cell , protein synthesis takes place with the help of mRNA strand . Thus strand consists of Animo group at one end while carboxyl group at other end.
