STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC (Module, if applicable):
How Proteins Are Made
BIG IDEAS:
(Content standards, assessment anchors, eligible content) objectives, and skill
focus)
Explain the process of protein synthesis (i.e., transcription, translation, and
protein modification).
Explain how genetic information is expressed
UNDERSTANDING GOALS (CONCEPTS):
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
Describe how the processes of transcription and translation are
similar in all organisms.
Describe the role of ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi
apparatus, and the nucleus in the production of specific types of
proteins.
Describe how genetic mutations alter the DNA sequence and may
or may not affect phenotype (e.g., silent, nonsense, frame-shift).
VOCABULARY:
RNA
DNA
Transcription
Translation
point mutations
amino acids
genetic code
What is the process of protein synthesis?
How is genetic information expressed?
STUDENT OBJECTIVES (COMPETENCIES/OUTCOMES):
Students will be able to:
Compare the structure of RNA with that of DNA.
Summarize the process of transcription.
Outline the major steps of translation.
