Objective #4 - Protein Synthesis
a. I can summarize the two main events of protein synthesis.
b. I can describe what happens during transcription.
c. I can describe what happens during translation.
d. I can analyze how transcription and translation are connected.
e. I can identify how each type of RNA is involved in protein synthesis.
f. I can describe the functions of proteins in a cell.
Vocabulary: transcription, translation, RNA, mRNA, rRNA, tRNA, protein, amino acid, codon, anticodon, ribose, uracil, ribosome, introns, exons

Getting to Know Protein Synthesis
1. Go to Google Classroom and find the assignment that says "Protein Synthesis - 4-step summary."
2. Open the reading attached to the post and open the 4-step summary sheets (also attached to the post). Fill in the summary sheets while you are reading. There is one sheet for transcription and one sheet for translation.
3. Share your summaries with the person next to you when you're finished.
4. Go get a large whiteboard, eraser, and a marker. Close the lid to your laptop and DRAW the processes of transcription and translation, using all of the words below:
transcription, translation, DNA, mRNA, rRNA, tRNA, protein, amino acid, codon, anticodon, ribose, uracil, ribosome, introns, exons
Share your drawing with a partner and then Mrs. E when you're finished.
5. Transcription/Translation Practice! We will be doing the following to practice our mad protein synthesis skillz:
a. Reviewing the processes of transcription/translation with a partner.
b. Reviewing how to read the genetic code chart. Also, practicing using the genetic code chart using this example:
DNA: TACGGCAAATCT
What's the mRNA, anticodons, and amino acid sequence for the DNA sequence above?
c. Doing a modeling activity to review the processes of transcription and translation.
d. Doing some basic transcription/translation practice.
e. Doing a Round Robin activity to progress check your protein synthesis skillz.
