[Free Registration/Login Required] A website where students can match the base pairs of RNA to base pairs of DNA to understand how RNA is transcribed from DNA. Also on website is a short quiz over transcription.

For this activity, students create a bracelet of beads using DNA code. Each letter represents an amino acid and is three beads. The authors suggest that even younger students would enjoy this activity, although older students will...

Using a bead-bracelet simulation, construct a sequence of amino acids. Then, discover the effects of silent, point, and frameshift mutations.

On this site, students learn about DNA and genes in the science of biology including the deoxyribonucleic acid molecule, nucleotides, codons, and interesting facts.

This lesson goes into greater depth on the translation portion of protein synthesis. Specifically, it covers the basics of translation, codons, and stages of translation - initiation and elongation and termination.

Provides detailed explanation of DNA's structure and function. Includes illustrations.

This lesson will explain how the process of translation is used to create proteins from RNA. It is 2 of 3 in the series titled "Translation."

This lesson will cover the process of transcription and its role in protein synthesis.
