What has to happen to the DNA double helix for RNA to copy DNA?

Fill in the RNA strand using the RNA Base-Pair Rule:

DNA strand: A

T

C

G

RNA strand:

In 4 words or less, define what a gene is:

A genome is a list of all genes located on one strand of DNA. How many genes are in the human genome?

What is the purpose of Transcription and Translation?

Use the description diagram below the Universal Genetic Code Chart to summarize (7 words or less):

Transcription:

Translation:

What is the name of the amino acid that always starts translation?

After you are completed with the activity and questions, click on DNA to PROTEIN at the top of the page. Click on: What makes a Firefly glow? Summarize the three reasons why fireflies glow:

Press PLAY and answer questions as you watch and read how Fireflies glow: What is the name of the gene that makes fireflies glow?: What is the job of RNA Polymerase? What is the purpose of Transcription? What is made at the end of Transcription? Where does the LUC mRNA go after being made? What happens in Translation? What is the purpose of Translation? What is made at the end of Translation?

Why must the string of amino acids bend and fold into a specific 3-D shape? What does the luciferase enzyme do after being made? What is the function of the luciferase enzyme? What is the result of many luciferase enzymes?
