Question

dna mutation simulation
access the simulation at: https://learn.concord.org/eresources/1760.run resource html

1. identify the parts of the model:

____ ribosome
____ amino acids
____ trna
____ mrna

1. what is the role of mrna in this process?

Explanation:

Step1: Match label to structure

• A: Amino Acids
• B: tRNA
• C: Ribosome
• D: mRNA

Step2: Define mRNA's core role

mRNA carries genetic code from DNA to ribosomes, specifying amino acid order for protein synthesis.

Answer:

1.

• Amino Acids: A
• tRNA: B
• Ribosome: C
• mRNA: D

1. mRNA acts as a messenger, carrying the genetic code from DNA (transcribed in the nucleus) to the ribosome, where it provides the sequence instructions for assembling amino acids into a protein.
