If you are in class, pick up a paper copy of this lab from the counter. You MAY NOT work on the same color DNA strip as your partners. If you are not in class for this activity, please print the document below, or expand it to full screen and write your answers in electronically. There is a back. The 'DNA' sequence you are working from and the amino acid decoding chart are below.

This is another style of amino acid chart. Be sure you can use this one as well. It might be on the SOL test.
