Science Classroom Connection

Students will elaborate upon their homework on making proteins as well as explain how mutation(s) tend to affect the newly synthesized protein molecule. Furthermore, students will contrast DNA with RNA based upon their major characteristics.

Students will make four different protein molecules that are based upon a segment of the DNA, i.e., a gene, using the processes of transcription and translation. Furthermore, students will analyze their work by commenting upon their process of protein synthesis.

Students will discuss and elaborate upon the process of protein synthesis in terms of its major components, transcription and translation.

We will discuss the process of making proteins under the directions of the DNA molecule that are based upon the transcription and translation processes that include several participant molecules, namely, RNA polymerase, mRNA, codons, rRNA, anticodons, tRNA, dehydration synthesis, & peptide bonds.

Students will review the structure  of the DNA molecule and its replication process. They will also do one more reinforcement on the subject matter in terms of critical thinking by answering page 199, #’s 7, 8, & 9 as well as page 202, #’s 6, 7, & 8.
