AUG CCU AAU GCU UGA (Remember: A↔U, T↔A, C↔G in transcription) Level 2: Codon Chart (Translation Start) mRNA codons: AUG CCU AAU GCU UGA
Here’s a you can use to design or check answers for a typical escape room activity. The puzzle flow usually covers: DNA → Transcription → mRNA → Translation → tRNA → Amino Acids → Protein . Level 1: DNA to mRNA (Transcription) Given DNA template strand: TAC GGA TTA CGA ACT
Met – Pro – Asn – Ala – Stop (Start codon AUG = Methionine; Stop codon UGA ends translation) Level 3: tRNA Anticodons Given mRNA codon: AUG Question: What is the tRNA anticodon?
UAC (Anticodon is complementary to mRNA codon, same base pairing rules as DNA→RNA but with U) Level 4: Mutations Original DNA: TAC GGA TTA CGA ACT Mutated DNA: TAC GGA TTT CGA ACT
What type of mutation occurred?
