Translate the process of protein synthesis to your molecular biologists with this instructional activity. It consists of reading, completing a table as a summary, comprehension questions, and a modeling activity for both transcription...

In this RNA worksheet, students determine the function of mRNA and tRNA and create an mRNA strand from a given DNA strand. Students describe and compare the 3 types of RNA. This worksheet has 1 drawing, 2 fill in the blank, and 14 short...

In this protein creation instructional activity, students will look at a diagram showing the mRNA strand in the process of making proteins from amino acids. Using this diagram, students will complete 2 short answer questions.

Students investigate DNA strands. They study the sequence to determine if it is DNA or RNA and write the mRNA nucleotide sequence. After stringing the beads together to create the mRNA sequence they translate it into an amino acid...

A stop codon is a nucleotide triplet in messenger RNA that signals the end of a protein during the translation process. Read about how this works, the different types of stop codons, and how a mutation can sometimes occur.

A start codon is a nucleotide triplet in a genetic sequence that occurs at the start of a protein's synthesis. Read about how this works and how a mutation can sometimes occur.
