1. Essential Question: How cells make proteins
Essential Question: How cells make proteins? Investigation Question: How do regions of DNA called genes determine the structure of proteins?
Investigation 2 Claim:
Regions of DNA called genes determine the structure of proteins by the mRNA’s codon sequence base pairing with the anticodon on the tRNA. The anticodon sequence will correspond with a specific amino acid to assemble a specific protein.
Terms of Use:
Gene, Codon, Anticodon, mRNA, tRNA, protein, amino acids

2. Sequence of Terms DNA Gene rRNA mRNA Codon tRNA Amino Acid Anticodon
Protein

3. How do regions of DNA called genes determine the structure of proteins?
Evidence 3.1
Justification
How does the evidence justify the claim that the mRNA’s codon sequence base pairing with the anticodon on the tRNA?
Terms: mRNA, codon, anticodon, tRNA

4. How do regions of DNA called genes determine the structure of proteins?
Evidence 3.2
Justification
How does the evidence justifies the claim that a specific gene will have an anticodon sequence that will correspond with a specific amino acid to assemble a specific protein? Terms: gene, anticodon, amino acid, protein

5. How do regions of DNA called genes determine the structure of proteins?
Evidence 3.2
Justification
How does the evidence justify the claim that a specific gene codes for a particular protein?
Terms: Gene, Codon, Anticodon, mRNA, tRNA, protein, amino acids

6. Investigation Question: How do regions of DNA called genes determine the structure of proteins?
Claim: Regions of DNA called genes determine the structure of proteins by the mRNA’s codon sequence base pairing with the anticodon on the tRNA. The anticodon sequence will correspond with a specific amino acid to assemble a specific protein. Justification: The claim is supported by evidence because… Evidence: Use the evidence presented (3.1 – 3.3) to justify the claim stated above.
