1. PROTEIN SYNTHESIS RELAY

2. OBJECTIVE:
BE THE FIRST TEAM TO TRANSCRIBE AND TRANSLATE THE DNA SEQUENCE INTO mRNA, tRNA, AND WRITE THE AMINO ACID ON THE BOARD!

3. 1ST Person copies the DNA strand
2nd Person codes for the mRNA (codon)
3rd Person codes for the tRNA (anticodon)
4th Person finds the Amino Acid
5th Person writes it on the board.
