1. DNA Reflection
After viewing and hearing your classmates presentations, and making you own, what do you specifically understand and what do you not specifically understand regarding:
DNA Structure
DNA Function
DNA Replication
DNA Purpose

2. DNA is made up of nucleotides (sugar, phosphate and nitrogen bases, A-T and C-G)
DNA looks like a double helix.
DNA stores genetic information that makes us-us and contains the instructions to make specific proteins.
DNA has to replicate in order to produce new cells, either somatic or sex cells.
DNA is passed on from one generation to the next and is the process of heredity. We come from our parents DNA or genetics.

3. Review Where are proteins made? Ribosomes on the ER or in the cell
Why can’t DNA leave the nucleus?
DNA is not mobile
How does the instructions leave the nucleus?
RNA is a mobile copy of DNA

4. DNA Nucleotide

5. RNA Nucleotides

6. Create and fill in the table with the differences between DNA and RNA.

7. Protein Synthesis
Building of Proteins
From DNA to Protein

8. Transcription Cellular process of copying instructions from gene to
mRNA
molecule

9. mRNA Messenger RNA Mobile copy of DNA, contains the codon
Carries copy of DNA to the ribosome outside of the nucleus

10. Translation
Cellular process of reading instructions on mRNA (codon) using tRNA (anticodon) to assemble amino acids into proteins
- Occurs at the ribosome

11. tRNA
Transfer
RNA
Transfers amino acids to the ribosome for protein assembly
Has anticodon which compliments the codon on mRNA

13. Protein Structure Function Chain of polypeptides
Sequence of amino acids
Function
Enzyme action
Growth and repair of body parts
Regulation of cell division and differentiation

15. Find the amino acid sequence.
DNA TAC GCG TTC CAT CCT AAG
mRNA
tRNA AA

16. How do proteins lead to traits?
Enzymes
Structural Proteins (building material)
Transport Proteins (carry substances)
Contractile proteins (muscle flexion)
Hormones
Protective proteins (immune system)
Toxins
