Formulate an Investigative Question
In this lab, you will explore the microscopic process of building proteins from RNA. Instead of working with variables, you will focus on the steps of that process. What investigative question will you answer by exploring this process? Write your question below.

How does the sequence of codons in an mRNA molecule determine the sequence of amino acids in the resulting polypeptide during translation?
Below are several good possible questions. Which one most closely resembles your question?

How are proteins built using the information provided by a molecule of RNA?

How are the processes of transcription and translation used to create proteins?

What are the steps that occur within the cell to build proteins?

My question is different, but related.

My question was wrong, but I see why the above are good questions to investigate.

The best match is: "How are proteins built using the information provided by a molecule of RNA?"

Reason: your question specifically asks how codon sequences in mRNA determine the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide — which is exactly the process of building proteins from RNA. The other options are broader (include transcription or general cellular steps).
