Lecture Notes and Worksheet #1
Listen to the tapes or read 11.2 (pg. 288-287) and
answer Section Review questions 1-6. Don’t forget to
use complete sentences and the assignment number!
Vocabulary. Make flashcards, definitions or a foldable
to help you study the vocab words. Be prepared to
answer Mrs. Penke’s questions to get your points
mRNA
tRNA
ribosome
transcription
translation
codon
anticodon
amino acid
protein
Create a DNA Foldable
In the news. Find an interesting article or TV special
about DNA and complete an Article Reaction
Worksheet (Don’t forget to relate it back to what is
covered in class). Some possible search terms include:
Fluorescent Mice Cloning
Stem Cell Research
Gene Therapy
GMO’s
Crime Evidence
RNAi
*Chimeras *Blood donors risk jail
*Human genome
DNA & Genes Concept Map
DNA in Different Species Worksheet.
MiniLab 11.1: Transcribe & Translate. Practice
protein synthesis. See pg. 293 for instructions and
questions to answer. Don’t forget complete
sentences!!!
RNAi Video. Watch the video and answer the
following questions:
1. What is the function of RNA?
2. What is RNAi? How does it work? (Hint:
Think of the cop!)
3. How can RNAi help cure genetic diseases.
4. Name 3 diseases that can be cured.
Protein Synthesis Video. Watch “The Nature of
Protein,” “Transcription,” and “Translation &
Protein Synthesis” and write a short summary of what
you see. See ESU 2 disk # 2829.

“The Secret DNA Code” Scavenger Hunt. Use mRNA
codons to decode messages, follow the clues and get a
prize!!!
Protein Production Line. With the help of your
classmates act out the steps of protein synthesis. Have
different students represent parts of the messenger
RNA, transfer RNA, ribosome and the protein chain
that is produced. Properly label each person or group
so we can tell what they are supposed to be. Use props
if necessary.
DNA vs. RNA. In a chart, compare and contrast DNA
and RNA. Find at least 1 similarity and 3 differences
Protein Synthesis Drawing. Draw and label the parts
used to make proteins. Include the DNA, RNA
Polymerase, mRNA (and free nucleotides), ribosome,
tRNA, anticodon, codon, anti codon, amino acid and
protein.
Other.
