From Gene to Protein ~ Transcription and Translation

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

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 and translation. To conclude, the concepts are applied to the formation of sickle-cell hemoglobin. The worksheet actually makes a thorough lesson for introducing protein synthesis.
