What can you
identify/
remember
about this
topic?
What are we
looking at?
A cell
Where is all the
genetic
information
stored for a cell?
The nucleus
How does this
DNA get the
message out of
the nucleus to
other parts of the
cell?
It sends the
message through
mRNA
Where does mRNA
take this message to
be turned into a
protein?
Into the
cytoplasm, to a
ribosome (grey
circle around the
mRNA)
Which comes first alphabetically,
translation or transcription?
c
Trans ription happens first, in
L
the nucleus, then Trans ation
occurs at the ribosome to make a
protein

Always look up your

amino acid.
1st round: Call out DNA
2nd round: Call out mRNA
3rd round: Call out tRNA
Identify this Process
1. On the back of your bingo card, write
whether the process you see is Transcription,
Translation, or all of Protein Synthesis.
2. When I say so, show me your board.
3. Have a reason for why you picked your
answer. (ex: It had DNA, It had RNA, it
occurred in the nucleus, It occurred outside
the nuceleus, I saw tRNA, etc)

Mutations Card Sort
• Each group of students get a set of cards and
each student gets a student handout and a codon
chart.
• Students must sort the cards in to groups. Each
group must have: 1) an image or mutation
example card, 2) one or more mutation type
cards, and 3) a description card .
• Note: There will be more than one type of
mutation card in each group except nondisjunction.
• Students should use their student handout to
label each example and take any needed notes.
