Students will work further on the protein synthesis process through assembling and analyzing data for making proteins, as well as reinforce DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis through a brief formative assessment.

Students will be evaluated upon the process of protein synthesis, whereby they will be given four different situations based upon given data, and they have to analyze the data to be able to synthesize four different proteins by determining the … Continue reading →

Studnets will apply the process of transcription and translation per our class discussion to synthesize several protein molecules as a practice as well as a precursor to our quiz on protein synthesis.

We will explain the key differences between the DNA and RNA molecules as we segue into the protein synthesis process as we elaborate upon the transcription process that will lead us into the translation process, and thus culminating in the … Continue reading →

Students will work in groups of three to simulate the structure and replication process of the DNA molecule and have their teacher verify their work for their accuracy. Then they are to describe them in writing for an evaluation of … Continue reading →

Students are to reinforce the characteristics of the DNA replication process by explaining several concepts, elaborate upon the importance of the replication process, and be able to explain the steps that are involved along with the important enzymes that help … Continue reading →

Today, we will discuss and reinforce the process of DNA replication as students will have an opportunity on Friday to demonstrate their comprehension skills of simulating the DNA molecular structure, its replication process, and elaborate upon them in writing!

Students are to complete the study guide on the DNA structure that is due tomorrow at the beginning of the hour. They are to define four different terms and give an example upon each, elaborate upon the characteristics of the … Continue reading →

Students will be allowed to complete the assignment from last Friday on DNA discovery for about 20 minutes. Then we will discuss and reinforce the structure of the DNA molecule in terms of its components and their relationships to one … Continue reading →

We will discuss and reinforce the discovery of the DNA through the experimentations of Frederick Griffith, Oswald Avery, and Martha Chase with Alfred Hershey. Students are expected to understand and explain these scientists’ experiments that have helped us realize that … Continue reading →
