mRNA sequence to a
protein sequence by
recognizing Start and
Stop codons
● Be able to read and use
the Universal Genetic
Code Chart to match
mRNA sequences to
corresponding amino
acids

amino acid sequences
to the corresponding
physical traits
Students will:

understanding and
application of
transcription and
Reasoning Targets
Performance/Skill Targets
Product Targets
Students will:
 Draw an accurate
sketch of the suspect.
Suspect’s physical
traits should be
reflective of the clues
given and solved (eg.
Clear distinction
between curly hair vs.
