Beginning with the start codon, translate the mRNA transcript and write the amino acid sequence below. Label the N and C-­‐terminus of the polypeptide. 6. Describe the process by which a ribosome assembles amino acids to form a protein. (Describe the three steps of translation). 7. How many molecules of water were released in the synthesis of the above protein? 8. Below is a list of known unicorn genes and their variants. What can you tell about the missing unicorn?
