WebLab#5: DNA Transcription and Translation
Goals:
- To increase your understanding of two fundamental processes
of molecular biology: transcription and translation of DNA's hereditary
code.
- To apply your knowledge of the genetic alphabet to predict base
sequences in RNA
during transcription.
- To analyze the role of the four different types of RNA molecules
required for the eventual translation of the genetic code.
- To understand the concepts of RNA editing and interrupted genes.
- To apply your knowledge of the genetic code to predict specific
changes in the amino acid sequences of proteins due to changes
in the genetic code.

WebLab#5: Exercise #2
Translation: Using the
Genetic Code to Construct Proteins
In this exercise you will learn details of the translation of the genetic code into protein synthesis. You will use the genetic code to construct the amino acid sequences in proteins and predict the consequences of mutations.
