5.3 DNA and Polypeptide Synthesis

Inquiry question: Why is polypeptide synthesis important?

Students:

5.3.1 construct appropriate representations to model and compare the forms in which DNA exists in eukaryotes and prokaryotes (ACSBL076)

5.3.2 model the process of polypeptide synthesis, including: (ACSBL079)

transcription and translation

assessing the importance of mRNA and tRNA in transcription and translation (ACSBL079)

analysing the function and importance of polypeptide synthesis (ACSBL080)

assessing how genes and environment affect phenotypic expression (ACSBL081)

5.3.3 investigate the structure and function of proteins in living things
