Future geneticists use base pairing rules to build DNA and RNA polypeptide strands, and then explain both transcription and translation. Although the chains themselves are a little blurry, there is plenty of room in them for learners to...

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 follow the steps of translation and identify the reactants and products of translation. They able to explain that proteins are made of amino acids which are coded for by RNA. Students are able to give examples of proteins--...

In this DNA activity, students access a website to determine the information that was used to understand DNA replication. Students compare the difference between observations and opinions. This activity has 7 short answer questions and 1...

In this DNA worksheet, students will review vocabulary about the structure and characteristics of DNA and the processes of replication and mutation. 3 true or false questions, 6 matching questions, 5 fill in the blank statements.

Ninth graders first summarize the process of translation, and then they identify and restate the processes of DNA replication, transcription, and translation in their own words. They also define the purpose of each and identify what the...

Students practice writing and decoding secret messages before discussing DNA and its role as a code for making proteins. They translate DNA into RNA and identify the sequence of amino acids to find a secret message. An interactive...

In this nutrient biochemistry activity, students complete the blanks with information about nucleic acids and the process. Students also draw a figure referenced in the text given.

In this gene control worksheet, learners use the example of the lactose operon structure to describe what happens when this structure is absent or mutated. This worksheet has 21 fill in the blank statements.
