Protein Synthesis Project |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Objective |
|
Given access to the CPH wireless network and a background in the use of laptop computers, students will be able to access a Hotlist of Web sites, review the details of transcription and translation through diagrams and animations, and produce a detailed summary of protein synthesis. |
|
|
|
| Standards |
|
Cell Anatomy 3.2 - Sequence the movement of molecules necessary to produce a protein, starting from the nucleus (chromosomes) -> (mRNA) -> ribosomes (production) -> endoplasmic reticulum (transportation) -> Golgi bodies (packaging / secretion of proteins). (Bio Stnd 1d, 1e)
Structure & Function of DNA 7.1 - Describe the structure and function of DNA and RNA. (CS 5a)
Structure & Function of DNA 7.3 - Diagram how a gene opens during transcription and mRNA is encoded from the DNA template, and the resulting single stranded mRNA is edited, with introns being excised and exons being conserved and rejoined, and how the edited mRNA transcript moves from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where it is bound by ribosomes. (CS 4a)
Structure & Function of DNA 7.4 - Diagram how during translation the mRNA arrives at the ribosomes (rRNA) where the anticodons of the tRNA (carries amino acids) bind to the codons of the mRNA, which results in the proper amino acid sequence of a polypeptide / protein being established. (CS 4a)
Structure & Function 7.5 - Apply genetic coding rules to predict the sequence of amino acids from a sequence of codons in mRNA. (CS 4b) |

| Assignment |
|
You are going to review a set of web sites concerning the details of protein synthesis. Each site will discuss either transcription or translation and you will have the opportunity to watch the animations as many times as you need. After your group has reviewed all of the sites, complete the review questions and create a detailed summary of the entire process of protein synthesis. Be sure to include labeled diagrams to support the statements of your summary. |
