    NAME: ROOM:

    TRANSCRIPTION to TRANSLATION

    Inherited characteristics, such as hair color, structure of eye, blood type and so on, are
    determined by genes. Genes are sequences of DNA molecules that determine the structure of
    polypeptides. Polypeptides are the building blocks of protein and are made up of amino acids joined
    together. The sequences of nucleotides in DNA determines the sequence of amino acids in the
    polypeptides, and this the structure of the proteins.

    DNA directs the protein synthesis by containing the needed information in its nitrogenous
    bases. In this activity you will simulate the mechanism of protein synthesis. This procedure will help
    you determine the traits inherited by fictitious organism called FABDEC. This organism, whose cells
    contain only one chromosome, is a member of the Kingdom Animalia. A FABDEC chromosome is made
    up of six genes (A, B, C, D, E and F). Each of these genes is responsible for a certain trait.

    Objective:
    1. Determine the traits of a particular chromosome.
    2. Determine the characteristics of an organism through these traits

    Materials:
    pen and crayons

    Procedure:

    1. Transcribe the DNA code indicated in each gene (Gene A-F) by writing down the correct sequence
    of mRNA nucleotides complimentary to the DNA code.
    2. Translate the mRNA code in each gene (Gene A-F) by writing down the correct sequence of tRNA
    nucleotides complimentary to the mRNA code.
    3. Using Table 1, determine the Amino Acid Number for each mRNA codon for all the genes. Then
    write down the amino acid sequence on the space provided in each gene.
    4. Then locate the amino acid sequence in Table 2. Write down the trait corresponding the amino acid
    for each gene on the space provided.
    5. Using all the inherited traits you gathered, make a sketch of how the fictitious organism FABDEC
    will look like.
