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...

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...

Take this 32 question quiz on control of gene expression. The quiz is multiple choice.

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.
