Welcome to Integrated Science II
Date: A-Day February 17th, Wednesday
WHAT’S DUE:
 Read and mark the text 12.3 – DNA, RNA & Protein p. 16-18 (134-138) in INB
Entry Task:
 Grab your Weekly Lifeline & handouts off the front tables
Learning Targets/Main Ideas in today’s lesson:
1. TSW be able to explain how mRNA, rRNA & tRNA are involved in the transcription and
translation of genes (proteins).
2. TSW be able to describe how the code of DNA is translated into mRNA and utilized to
synthesize a protein.
Kick-Off Question (2.1):
What is amino acid sequence if the mRNA strand is A-U-C-U-C-G-U-U-U? (Hint, use the Genetic
Code Chart p. 29 in INB)
Plan for today:
1. HW Stamp & Review
2. Notes: DNA  RNA  Protein (finish)
3. Lab: Protein Synthesis Simulation (Finish & Get Stamped)
4. CH 12 Vocab Letter (if not finished today = Homework)
5. CH 12 Review: p. 31-33 in INB (DUE @ Start of class on Friday)
6. CH 12 Test Friday
Homework: (Due next class unless otherwise stated)
1. Read & Mark the Text: Gene Regulation & Mutation (p. 19-20 INB)
2. CH 12 Review: p. 31-33 in INB (DUE @ Start of class on Friday)
3. CH 12 Vocab Letter

Exit Question (2.1):
What type of RNA has the complement to the mRNA, it brings the amino acids to
the ribosome?
