Unit 7 DNA & Protein Synthesis Objectives
Learning Targets
1. Genetics & DNA
a. I can analyze the relationship between genes, chromosomes, DNA, and a genome.
b. I can explain the functions of DNA.
Vocabulary: gene, chromosome, DNA, allele, genome
2. Nucleic Acid Structure
a. I can describe the structure of a DNA nucleotide.
b. I can describe how DNA nucleotides are connected together to make DNA molecules.
c. I can describe the structure of an RNA nucleotide and function of RNA.
Vocabulary: double helix, nucleotide, deoxyribose, phosphate group, nitrogen base, thymine,
cytosine, guanine, adenine, purine, pyrimidine
3. DNA Replication
a. I can describe the three steps of DNA replication.
b. I can explain the importance of hydrogen bonds in the replication of DNA.
c. I can identify what’s happening in each stage of DNA replication from diagrams.
Vocabulary: replication fork, DNA polymerase, base-pairing rules, DNA helicase, DNA replication
4. Protein Synthesis
a. I can summarize the two main events of protein synthesis.
 I can describe what happens during transcription.
 I can describe what happens during translation.
 I can explain how transcription and translation work together to make a protein.
b. I can identify how each type of RNA is involved in protein synthesis.
c. I can describe the functions of proteins.
d. I can explain how organelles function in protein synthesis.
Vocabulary: transcription, translation, RNA, mRNA, rRNA, tRNA,
protein, amino acid,codon, anticodon, ribose, uracil, ribosome
5. Mutations
a. I can define what a mutation is and how it affects proteins.
b. I can identify factors that lead to mutations.
6. Summary
I can understand that an organism is an expression of its genome.
