Like all cells, Like all cells, your most important task is to make your most important task is to make proteins.proteins. Starting with Starting with a gene (a piece of DNA)a gene (a piece of DNA) which contains the instructions to make a protein which contains the instructions to make a protein,, list and explain all the stepslist and explain all the steps that will lead to the final destination of a synthesized that will lead to the final destination of a synthesized protein. Each team will be assignedprotein. Each team will be assigned one one out of the 30 000 active genes. out of the 30 000 active genes.
