Students work with a partner, and copies of the attached worksheet "Amino Acid Codon Table" They discuss ways an organism, obtains and uses proteins. Students view a teacher prepared DNA strand banner, and record the complementary DNA sequence that would form during replication. Students receive one of the needed eight codon or mRNA anti-codon cards (also teacher created), students arrange themselves in the correct mRNA sequence. Students discuss real life examples.

Students work in teams to order events of DNA transcription and translation protein synthesis. In the second lesson, they put the steps of mitosis and meiosis in order using a concept map poster. They use modeling clay to create models of cells undergoing these changes. In the third lesson, students create Punnett squares, and participate in an interactive lecture on genes, alleles, traite and geno/pheno types. Full Review »

Students identify and describe the process by which a cell produces proteins and describe different types of mutations and how they affect organisms. Then they define the key terms, messenger RNA, transfer RNA and mutation. Students also identify the order of the nitrogen bases along a gene forms a genetic code that specifies what type of protein will be produced. Full Review »
