Transcription and Translation Worksheet

This document provides examples of transcribing DNA into mRNA and translating mRNA into amino acid sequences. It gives 4 examples of DNA strands being transcribed into mRNA and the mRNA being translated into codons, anticodons, and amino acid sequences. It then provides a DNA strand and asks the reader to transcribe it into mRNA and translate the mRNA into a polypeptide chain by identifying the codons, anticodons, and amino acid sequence.
