Worksheet Overview & Skills Covered

Core academic competencies and curriculum alignment

This Biology Science worksheet provides structured practice on 10.58 Translation and Codon Tables. Students are guided through targeted exercises that build foundational understanding, computational accuracy, and critical thinking skills.

Translation and Codon Tables: Students read codon charts, connect mRNA codons to amino acids, and identify the roles of ribosomes, tRNA, anticodons, start codons, and stop codons. Rigor range: standard concept checks through honors/Pre-AP/AP-ready sequence, probability, pedigree, population, and bioethics analysis.

Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 10.58 Translation and Codon Tables skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A DNA template triplet is 3'-ACC-5'. After transcription, which mRNA codon is produced and what amino acid does it specify?

A5'-ACC-3'; threonine

B5'-TGG-3'; tryptophan

C5'-UGA-3'; stop

D5'-UGG-3'; tryptophan

Solution & Explanation:The DNA template 3'-ACC-5' pairs with mRNA 5'-UGG-3', and UGG codes for tryptophan.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

An mRNA codon is 5'-CGA-3'. A tRNA anticodon is written 5'-UCG-3'. Are these complementary when antiparallel orientation is considered?

ANo; the anticodon must be 5'-CGA-3'.

BNo; RNA anticodons must contain thymine.

CYes; 5'-UCG-3' anticodon aligns antiparallel as 3'-GCU-5'.

DYes; any three-letter RNA sequence pairs with any codon.

Solution & Explanation:Writing the anticodon 5' to 3' can hide the antiparallel pairing; reversed, it pairs with 5'-CGA-3'.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which sequence of events best describes translation?

ADNA replication, cell division, mRNA destruction, codon formation

BInitiation at a start codon, tRNA anticodon pairing, peptide bond formation, termination at a stop codon

CStop codon binding, transcription, DNA ligation, anticodon deletion

DAmino acid copying, lipid folding, nucleotide digestion, protein unzipping

Solution & Explanation:Translation begins at a start codon, proceeds through codon-anticodon pairing and peptide bonds, and ends at a stop codon.
