- For questions 1-4, fill in the DNA, mRNA and/or protein sequence.... For questions 1-4, fill in the DNA, mRNA and/or protein sequence. Fill in the DNA and mRNA three nucleotides (one codon) at a time. Fill in the protein sequence by typing in the amino acid found in the genetic code table. Type in the three letter abbreviation. For example, type in "Met" instead of "Methioine". For the stop codon, type in "stop". Capitalization doesn't matter when filling in the sequences of the amino acids. You will need to have a copy of the genetic code handy when completing this activity. Remember The two DNA strands must be complementary. That is, A pairs with T and C pairs with G. The template strand of DNA is transcribed into mRNA using our base-pairing rules. When making RNA, U is used in place of T. This means that if there is an A in the template DNA strand, there will be a U in the mRNA strand. Each codon (3 nucleotides) of the mRNA is translated into an amino acid to build a protein.
