CHEM 120 OL Lab 13- Protein Synthesis

Document Content and Description Below

Part 2: Report and Reflection Purpose: Describe in complete sentences and in your own words, the purpose of this experiment. The purpose of this experiment was to learn the basics of protein synthe... sis while helping people with chronic kidney disease. Observations: Record three observations from the simulation. 1. the mRNA nucleotide triplets are called codons. The codons are written 5’ to 3’ direction. 2. Biosafety cabinet classes I, II and III differ in airflow velocity and patterns as well as exhaust systems. 3. transcription is the first step of gene expression whereby a particular segment of DNA is copied inti RNA bases. Answer the questions below: 1. In your own words, describe the process of gene expression beginning from the nucleus to the formation of the polypeptide sequence. In transcription, the DNA sequence of a gene is copied to make an RNA molecule. In translation, the sequence of the mRNA is decoded to specify the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide. 2. Complete the table below: Nucleic acid Amine Bases Present Location(s) in cell DNA A,C,G,T Nucleus of the cell RNA A,C,G,U Cytoplasm 3. Assume that RNA Polymerase will read the parental strand of DNA given here and write the mRNA sequence that would result: - TATGCTTCCGTA - The DNA sequence synthesize will be 5’- TATGCTTCCGTA – 3’ 5’- TATGCTTCCGTA – 3’ (parent strand) 3’-ATACGAAGGCAT-5’ (Daughter strand) 4. Reflection: Consider what you learned from this simulation. Reflect on three to four key concepts that you learned in this lab exercise. How could the lessons learned in this virtual lab relate to a real world situation in the community/world or your future career? Be specific in your answer (this should require 5-10 sentences).
