Presentation Transcript

  1. Cover Page – Box 1 • Draw the Central Dogma of Biology picture in Box 1 of your cover page • Using you notebook, look up Proteins in your biomolecules unit. Identify: • A few functions of protein • The monomer of protein Box 1 Functions: Monomer:

  2. Cover Page – Box 2 • Glue in the picture in Box 2 • Using the picture, how many nitrogen bases make up a codon? • Using the picture, develop base pairing rules for the nitrogen bases between a DNA strand and the mRNA strand Box 2 How many nitrogen bases make a codon? DNA/RNA Base Pairing Rules

  3. Cover Page – Box 3 • Glue in the picture of a codon chart in Box 3 • Using the codon chart, find the abbreviation for the amino acid that corresponds to the codon (3 nitrogen base sequence) • Match the codon to the amino acid • UUC - ___________________ • AGU - ___________________ • ACU - ___________________ • GUG - ___________________ • CCC - ___________________ Box 3 Match the codon to the amino acid UUC - ___________________ AGU - ___________________ ACU - ___________________ GUG - ___________________ CCC - ___________________

  4. Cover Page – Box 4 • Glue in the table in Box 4 (you might have to turn it sideways • Read the brief description of the 3 different types of mutations • Using the original DNA sequence, mutate (or change) the DNA sequence as described. You can switch/insert/delete any nitrogen base that you want Box 4
