TUESDAY 4-21-15

LEARNING OBJECTIVE:

• EXPLAIN THE PROCESS OF TRANSLATION

ENTRY TASK:

• USING THE TRANSLATION WHEEL ON PAGE 198 OF 13.2 HANDOUT, TRANSLATE THIS THREE LETTER NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCE (ANTICODON) INTO THE CORRESPONDING AMINO ACID

UAC =

PLAN OF THE DAY

• NOTES AND PRACTICE ON HOW TRANSLATION WORKS

• MAKING SENTENCES OF DNA ACTIVITY

1. A sequence of nucleotidesIn DNA (a gene) is transcribed to RNA in the nucleus

2. The RNA travels to the cytoplasm where it is translated into the specific amino acid sequece of a polypeptid

A codon is a three-base "word" that codes for one amino acid.

Several codons form a "sentence" that translates into a polypeptide.
