PROTEIN SYNTHESIS WEBQUEST ? PART 2

LESSON QUESTION

I can explain how DNA is used to make protein.

VOCABULARY

Polypeptide: protein

TRANSLATION

Continue using the first link on the webquest (protein synthesis overview) to complete this part of the activity. 1) Where does the mRNA go after it has been processed in the nucleus?

2) What is the function of the ribosome?

3) What is the function of the tRNA?

4) Draw a picture showing protein synthesis, include the ribosome, mRNA, tRNA, and the amino acid chain (polypeptide)

5) Complete the Summary concept map, when it is correct, copy the map into your notes and show me!

TRANSLATE A GENE

Name: ________________________________________________

Go to the second link in Part 2 of the webquest on my website. Now you can practice the entire process of DNARNAprotein!

6) Write the RNA strand.

7) Draw lines to separate the codons ? begin with the "Start" codon, AUG.

8) Write the amino acid chain in the protein that you make ? write out the FULL NAME of each amino acid!

BIOMANBIO PROTEIN SYNTHESIS RACE

9) Complete the BioManBio protein synthesis race and write down your final score in seconds and percent correct. Final Score in Seconds: ______________________________ Percent Correct: ______________________________________

EXIT TICKET

10) What would happen if one of the nucleotides in mRNA was changed or deleted?
