b) Explain WHY you do what you do when you create the Punnet square from letter a.
a) Explain how you create a Punnet square from this cross: Aa x Aa.
b) Explain WHY you do what you do when you create the Punnet square from letter a. a) Define genotype and phenotype.
b) Write a difference between genotype and phenotype from the definitions you wrote in part a. a) What's the difference between genotype and phenotype?
b) How are genotype and phenotype connected? c) How was your phenotype determined when you were a zygote? d) How did you get all 46 of your chormosomes? Write level 9 differences for EACH set of terms below:
a) genotype and phenotype b) homozygous and heterozygous c) dominant allele and recessive allele Every cell in your body has all of the genes for all cell functions. If that's the case, how does a muscle cell know only to do muscle cell things?
We already know that proteins do everything in cells. Now that you've read more about specific functions of proteins, describe what that "everything" really means by explaining the many functions of proteins.
a) Transcribe this piece of DNA: TACAATCGC
b) Translate this piece of mRNA: AUUCUCAGG List TWO ways transcription and translation are connected.
Explain, using NUMBERED steps, what happens in:
a) Transcription b) Translation Explain (in your own words!) what each type of RNA below does during protein synthesis:
a) rRNA b) tRNA c) mRNA a) Give a level 9 difference between transcription and translation.
b) Below is a short segment of DNA: TACAAACGCGGGTAA -Write the mRNA that would be made from transcription. -Write the tRNA anticodons that would pair up with each mRNA codon. -Then write the amino acid sequence that would be made during translation. Use the chart below to help you determine the amino acid sequence. Click on “DNA & Protein Synthesis” and review Objectives #1, 2, 3, and 4a-c. Write down what you don’t remember from these objectives.
You should have a separate answer for BOTH questions below!!
a) Summarize what happens in transcription. b) Summarize what happens in translation. a) What's the difference between transcription and translation?
b) Write a 2-3 sentence summary of what happens during transcription. Use ALL of the words below: transcription, DNA, mRNA, RNA polymerase, base-pairing, A, U, C, G, T a) Using all of the words on the board, describe what happens in the process of DNA replication.
b) What is happening in the second stage of the diagram below? BE SPECIFIC - LEVEL 9 ANSWERS! Get out the DNA model that you made over the weekend (you should have 2 DNA molecules total).
a) Describe how a DNA nucleotide is hooked together. b) Explain how the nucleotides are hooked together to form an entire DNA molecule. a) Describe what a nucelotide of DNA looks like.
b) Describe how DNA nucleotides are connected together to make DNA molecules. If you were going to build your own model of a DNA molecule out of everyday objects, what would you use to represent:
a) the base? b) the sugar? c) the phosphate group? d) the hydrogen bonds? e) the bonds between nucleotides? Look at the diagram below. Describe how the nucleotides are hooked together in order to make a DNA molecule.
Below is a diagram of a DNA nucleotide. Use the diagram to answer the questions below.
a) What are the three parts of a nucleotide? b) Explain how the three parts of a nucleotide are connected together in one sentence. In 2-3 sentences, state the relationship between the following words: (use ALL of the words!)
gene allele DNA chromosome Split your whiteboard on your desk into fourths. Put the following words in the squares (one in each square):
gene allele chromosome DNA Draw each of the words without looking any of them up! Then, in the answer to this journal, write which word was the toughest for you and why. Look over the I can statements by clicking on the words "Cell Reproduction" at the top of this page. Then, write down any questions you have about any of the I can statements in the answer to this journal.
