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

3. 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

4. DNA to RNA Converter

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

6. 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

7. 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

8. 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

9. 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
