78 79 DNA to Protein Synthesis

We are now going to look more at DNA's function.  

In groups of two, get a computer
Go to Adaptive Curriculum  Log in (puhsmt-######), and then Complete the Molecular Genetics Activities Listed.

When you get to the DNA Protein Synthesis Activity (3rd in the list), you will need to answer the following questions in your notebook (write them down now please)

Page 78 (questions 1-8)   Section 1 (#1) Section 2 (#2-8)
Page 79 (questions 9-13) Section 3 (#9-10) Section 4 (#11) Section 5 (#12)

1. Is there an ideal condition at which bacteria can survive?  Explain
2. Where does protein synthesis begin in a cell?  Explain
3. What is needed to start protein synthesis?
4. What is the base pairing rule? What is the difference between DNA and RNA rules?
5. What does AUG code for?
6. What is a codon?
7. What is a stop codon?
8. What do antibiotics do?
9. What is the "central dogma" process?
10. What is the start codon?
11. Give two examples of proteins that perform vital functions within the cell
12. How are proteins used in the metabolic processes of the cells within an organism?
13. Take the assessment at the end and write down your score (retake if you don't get 100%)
