“Coding” for the building blocks of our bodies Edited 3-1-18 It’s all in the Strand 6.2 “Coding” for the building blocks of our bodies Edited 3-1-18

Objective: Model the process of how Dna determines our Traits. Nucleotides (DNA and RNA) Colors = Bases Strands of DNA and RNA Amino Acids Proteins

Make sure you have all of your materials 6 chain links of each color 25 Red, Green and Blue Beads 15 Yellow and Purple Beads Let your teacher know if you are missing anything

DNA to RNA Converter

RNA (Bead) to Amino Acid (chain link) Converter

RNA (Bead) to Amino Acid (chain link) Converter Start by focusing on the rows involved with the first bead. RNA SEQUENCE (First 3 Beads) 1st Bead 2nd Bead 3rd Bead

RNA (Bead) to Amino Acid (chain link) Converter Now focus on the column involved with the second bead. RNA SEQUENCE (First 3 Beads) 1st Bead 2nd Bead 3rd Bead

RNA (Bead) to Amino Acid (chain link) Converter Finally, focus on the row involved with the third bead. RNA SEQUENCE (First 3 Beads) 1st Bead 2nd Bead 3rd Bead

RNA (Bead) to Amino Acid (chain link) Converter Another Strategy RNA (Bead) to Amino Acid (chain link) Converter RNA SEQUENCE (First 3 Beads) 1st Bead 2nd Bead 3rd Bead
