DNA, Protein Synthesis and Mutations

Although it is a grainy scan of a worksheet, the content is applicable to your DNA unit. Biology buffs follow the synthesis of an oxytocin protein. They write out an RNA sequence transcribed from a piece of DNA, they list the amino acids...

In this protein synthesis and mutation instructional activity, students are given an initial DNA sequence and are guided through a series of mutations by inserting, deleting and changing bases in the sequence. Students transcribe and...

Translate the process of protein synthesis to your molecular biologists with this instructional activity. It consists of reading, completing a table as a summary, comprehension questions, and a modeling activity for both transcription...

A five-star arrangement of slides awaits your biology class. It progressively steps viewers through the process of protein synthesis within the eukaryotic cell. Colorful representations of the DNA molecule, important enzymes, introns,...

Support young biologists with synthesizing an understanding of living things with this PowerPoint presentation on proteins. As you move through these slides, your class will learn about the role proteins play in sustaining life and...

Seven simple slides make up this DNA presenation. The first poses the question of how to code 20 amino acids with only four nitrogen bases. The following slides explain how using three-nucleotide groups leads to the formation of 64...

Can your class visualize how proteins synthesize? Take a tour of the all-important process of protein synthesis to discover why our bodies depend on it. A video from an animated biology playlist covers transcription and translation, as...

Your body determines which proteins are made based on the code in your DNA. A Fuse School video explains how protein synthesis works. It starts with DNA, moves through transcription, RNA, mRNA, completes translation, tRNA, and finally...

Only about two percent of DNA codes for protein. The video walks through the process of protein synthesis. It breaks down both transcription and translation into multiple steps. 

Watson and Crick built the first model of DNA in the 1950s, and our understanding of DNA since then continues to grow exponentially. Scholars learn about protein synthesis by observing a presentation and completing a worksheet. Both walk...
