Make sure you got a new text! Due next Tuesday (after break).
Write down the steps of the protein synthesis process. You might consider including the following words:
Transcription
Translation
RNA
Ribosome
Amino Acids
I can explain the process that allows the DNA in a cell to build specific proteins responsible for the traits of an organism by completing the first lab of unit 5!
This means I will carefully follow the procedure for lab 1.
This means I will use the DNA code to build a protein.
In order to save paper, we will follow the procedure from the lab manual. There is only one thing to write in this investigation - please do not write in the lab manual. Write your final protein sequence on a separate piece of paper.
Because there is no lab write-up, your grade for this investigation will come from how you participate. As I'm walking around, I'm looking for folks who are:
At their group and working together the entire time
Actively working to include everyone in their group
Asking questions when they are confused to make sure everyone understands the process
Reading the procedure together carefully before cutting out materials or starting the steps
All of the materials we are using today will be used again in Lab 3. Do NOT write on your posterboard or destroy or lose your cut-outs. Keep all materials in the plastic bag attached to your posterboard.
Homework
Text for case study 2 is due on Tuesday!
