Closure….Comic Book Replication
PG 46
Create a 6-strip comic book page describing the process of DNA
Replication.
• Be creative in the representation of your setting and characters
• Include thought bubbles and character names (DNA, Helicase, DNA
Polymerase, etc…)
• Must include a minimum of 5 colors
• Must include the following words
DNA Replication
Replication Fork
Helicase
A, T, C, G
DNA Polymerase
Antiparallel
• Will be due in the tray on Friday
Small Group CHAMPS
Semiconservative Replication
Watson and Crick
Essential Question
PG 47
How is the information
from DNA copied
onto messenger RNA?
Standard
B.6C – Explain the purpose and process of transcription and
translation using models of DNA and RNA
Let’s get some things straight…
Replication- to make an exact copy
Replication is like making a photocopy
Transcription- to transfer from one
recording form to another
Transcription is like taking notes (same
information, different form)
Well…
1. Copies are good to have as a backup—it’d be bad if
something happened to DNA
2. You can just put down the part of the information
you need—shorter/simpler
Think of it like this:
DNA = master copy
RNA = blueprints…you don’t need the blueprints for
the whole house to build the foundation
Central Dogma
We’re only talking about the first part today 
DNA
RNA
Protein
Transcription (Big Ideas)
•Is the first step in making a protein
(polypeptide)
•Occurs in the nucleus
•DNA is used to make RNA
•RNA is then sent out into the cell to make proteins
• It’s usually just a section of the DNA strand (gene)
that codes for one specific protein
There are three main
differences between
DNA and RNA:
1) The sugar in RNA is
ribose instead of
deoxyribose.
2) RNA is singlestranded.
3) RNA contains uracil
instead of thymine.
Comparing base pairing rules
DNA to DNA
DNA to RNA
CG
GC
TA
AT
C G
G C
TA
A U
Summarize the DNA to RNA base pairing
rules in exactly 8 words.
Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries copies of
instructions from DNA in the nucleus to the
ribosome to make proteins.

Transcription Recap
Central Dogma Foldable
PG 48
1. Fold the edges of your paper toward the BACK along the dotted lines.
2. Now fold the two sides in to meet in the middle (also marked with a
dotted line).
3. Using the given ORIGINAL strand, complete the complementary
strand.
4. Open your edges. Now “replicate” the DNA by filling in the two new
strands.
5. Put your name on your paper and turn it in! I will keep them until next
week, when we will add another step.
Save for a later date?
