TOPIC:
MY GOAL: DO
THIS
NOW.
Please
I will… see how DNA & RNA work together to make amino acids!
Get out the Amino Acid Snork Lab Sheet
Turn textbook to page 244.

2. Do you know the answers…?
What molecule contains the master instructions for genetic traits & where is it found?
What molecule does DNA actually code for the production of?
Why do we care about proteins?
Where are proteins made? What are they made of?
How does DNA send the ‘message’ to the ribosomes to make proteins?
What is TRANSCRIPTION?
Since amino acids are in the cytoplasm, how do they get ‘transferred’ to the ribosomes to make the proteins?
What is TRANSLATION?
Is DNA one or two strands?
What are the subunits of DNA?
What are the 4 bases used to make DNA?
Is RNA one or two strands?
What are the 4 bases used to make RNA?
What are the 3 steps to DNA Replication?
TRAITS!!!

mRNA
DNA

3. To make proteins Protein Synthesis…
DNA
mRNA (Transcription=transcribe=summarize)
RIBOSOMES
tRNA (Translation=put into simpler terms)
Amino Acids
PROTEIN shape
Protein Function
TrAits 3

4. Which Amino Acids are coded by the following sequences?
TRY THESE:
Which Amino Acids are coded by the following sequences?
CCG =
Proline
CAU =
Histine
UUU =
Phenylalnine

5. Using the Amino Acid Codon Table
FINISH ACTIVITY
Using the Amino Acid Codon Table
Bio 1 – decode 2 ‘Snorks’  Bio Hon –all 4 ‘Snorks’
All classes - 1 page Lab Report
