Paper Transcription & Translation: Cut-outsCopy Instructions

Make single-sided copies of the cut-outs.• There are 5 versions of page A; each codes for a different protein.• Give each student or pair of students one version of page A and a copy of page B.

Tips • Make color copies of the Transcription and Translation machinery (page B) and laminate them so

that they may be re-used.

• Copy each version of page A on a different color of paper so that students don’t mix up their DNA, mRNA, and protein strips.

To make one long strip each of DNA and mRNA, tape the shorter pieces together end to end.
