TOPIC:
MY GOAL: I will… see how DNA & RNA
work together to make amino
acids!
DO
THIS
NOW.
Please
1. Get out the Amino
Acid Snork Lab Sheet
2. Turn textbook to page

What molecule contains the master instructions for
genetic traits & where is it found?
What molecule does DNA actually code for the
production of?
Why do we care about proteins?
Where are proteins made? What are they made of?
TRAITS!!!
How does DNA send the ‘message’ to the ribosomes
to make proteins?
What is TRANSCRIPTION?
Since amino acids are in the cytoplasm, how do they
Proteins
get ‘transferred’ to the ribosomes to make the
proteins?
DNA
What is TRANSLATION?
Is DNA one or two strands?
mRNA
What are the subunits of DNA?
What are the 4 bases used to make DNA?
tRNA
Is RNA one or two strands?
aa. aa.
What are the 4 bases used to make RNA?
aa. aa.
What are the 3 steps to DNA Replication?
Protein Synthesis…
To make proteins

DNA
mRNA
(Transcription=transcribe=summarize)
RIBOSOMES
tRNA (Translation=put into simpler terms)
Amino Acids
PROTEIN shape
Protein Function

TrAits
TRY THESE:
Which Amino Acids are coded by the following
sequences?
1.
•
CCG =
Proline
2.
•
CAU =
Histine
3.
•
UUU =
Phenylalnine
FINISH ACTIVITY
Using the Amino Acid Codon Table
1.
Bio 1 – decode 2 ‘Snorks’  Bio Hon –all 4 ‘Snorks’
2.
All classes - 1 page Lab Report
1. FRONT:
1. Title
2. Purpose
3. Data = Snork drawings; labeled with
Number & Name;Honors include the DNA
form which the RNA came!
2. BACK:
1. Conclusion
2. One full page of writing – ELABORATE!

Be nice to the world…
Be the change you wish to see in the world
