Essential Question: How cells make proteins Essential Question: How cells make proteins? Investigation Question: How does the cell’s DNA translate into proteins? Investigation 2 Claim: The cell’s DNA is transcribed by RNA polymerase to make mRNA inside the nucleus using base pairing of adenine, uracil, guanine and cytosine. mRNA travels outside into the cytoplasm where the mRNA is translated into amino acids from tRNA and then assembled into proteins on ribosomes(rRNA). Terms of Use: DNA, RNA polymerase, Base Pairing, Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine, Uracil, mRNA, tRNA, rRNA, protein, amino acids

Sequence of Terms DNA RNA polymerase Base Pairing mRNA Adenine Thymine rRNA tRNA Guanine Cytosine Base Pairing Adenine Uracil Guanine Cytosine

How does the cell’s DNA translate into proteins? Evidence: Figure 2.1 Justification How does the evidence justify the claim that messenger RNA is a copy of the DNA strand? Terms: DNA, RNA, Base Pairing, Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine, Uracil, mRNA,

How does the cell’s DNA translate into proteins? Evidence: Figure 2.2 Justification How does the evidence justify the claim that mRNA travels outside into the cytoplasm where the mRNA is translated into amino acids from tRNA? Terms: Uracil, mRNA, tRNA, rRNA, protein, amino acids

How does the cell’s DNA translate into proteins? Evidence: Figure 2.3 Justification How does the evidence justify the claim that transfer RNA is used to assemble proteins for a specific function? Terms: tRNA, rRNA, protein, amino acids

Investigation Question: How does the cell’s DNA translate into proteins? Claim: The cell’s DNA is transcribed by RNA polymerase to make mRNA inside the nucleus using base pairing of adenine, uracil, guanine and cytosine. mRNA travels outside into the cytoplasm where the mRNA is translated into amino acids from tRNA and then assembled into proteins on ribosomes(rRNA). Justification: The claim is supported by evidence because… Evidence: Use the evidence presented (2.1 – 2.3) to justify the claim stated above.
