During translation, small organelles called ____ read the mRNA sequence. These organelles direct transfer RNA, or tRNA, to assemble a specific sequence of ____ ____. A ____ is a sequence of three mRNA bases that codes for one amino acid.

The genetic code is Random in that the codons for the same amino acid are structurally unrelated Read by pairing codons in TRNAS with anticodons in mRNAs Read by pairing anticodons in TRNAS with codons in MRNAS Redundant in that each codon can code for multiple amino acids

An mRNA that is translated into one polypeptide is called __________, while an mRNA that is translated into multiple (often related) polypeptides is called __________.

In protein synthesis, DNA transcription records the genetic message, while ribosomal ______________ interprets the message. ________________ carries the genetic code to the ribosomes to facilitate protein/amino acid synthesis. The genetic message to make a  specific amino acid in a protein, is carried by a specific   three nucleotide unit on the messenger RNA called  a  During transcription, the nitrogen base adenine on the DNA bonds with the nitrogen base ______________ on the messenger RNA. The enzyme __________________ unwinds the DNA double helix in DNA transcription.

Indicate the mRNA sequence, coding sense DNA sequence and template DNA sequence that produced the following polypeptide. The signal “!” means a stop codon:MYCATEATMYRING!
