How Is the Genetic Code Ultimately Translated Into a Protein?

Biology learners describe the metabolic pathways and the transcription and translation of genetic information. They will party on the last page as they trace the flow of information through a large and colorful diagram.

Young scientists demonstrate their creativity while completing several activities, to assess genetic variations and mutations. Instructors provide a list of options and scientists choose to write a comic strip, create a book,...

In this genetics worksheet, students answer a variety of questions about inheritance, DNA, the genetic code, genes, sexual and asexual reproduction, mutations, protein synthesis and genetic engineering.

Learn how genetic code links groups of nucleotides in an mRNA to amino acids in a protein. Also learn about start codons, stop codons, and reading frame.

Read a passage about early experiments on the genetic code and answer the follow-up questions.

Explore how our chromosomes work to define human attributes. A complete unit presentation includes topics such as genetic disorders, blood typing, and Punnet squares. Learners answer questions throughout the presentation to apply the...

In this DNA worksheet, students will compare the chemical differences between DNA and RNA. Students will review what makes up the genetic code and the steps of transcription from DNA to mRNA to proteins. This worksheet has 26 fill in the...

Young scholars examine an article, "Genome 'Treasure Trove'" and participate in a class discussion prior to researching further information in order to write their own feature article on the Human Genome Project.

The purpose of 75% of the human genome letters is still unknown. Is it unnecessary information or does it have a key to important information in human genetics? The lesson animation is a visual reference to the massive amount of...

Scientists work every day to find solutions to genetic diseases. Scholars learn about the process of gene sequencing, mutations, and the results. They explore genetic diseases and therapies to intervene and help and, through case...
