Click on Code Click on reading the code at the bottom of the screen Click on putting it together in the top navigation bar. Observe the translation animation. Try your skill and test your knowledge of DNA transcription by functioning as a ribosome and making a piece of protein in the segment called Interactive

__**Answer the following questions.**__ 1. List or draw sequentially the steps involved in protein synthesis. Start with the DNA code in the nucleus, and try to end up with a polypeptide in 10 steps. Title your work “10 easy steps to synthesizing your protein.” 2.. Explain why a mutation that occurs in a codon may not result in a change of an amino acid in the protein sequence. Use the genetic code chart to give an example of how this might occur.
