DO NOW

1.Take out your DNA internet activity.

2.Pick up the 2 Snork activity sheets from the front desk.

3.Translate the following RNA strand into amino acids using your Codon chart.

Protein Synthesis Lab

• 1. Transcribe the DNA strand to RNA.• Translate the snorks’ RNA

using your codon chart. Write the amino acid abbreviations below each codon.

Ex: GUC = VAL

• 2. Using the amino acids you wrote below each gene, determine what traits the organism has and record them in the table. • 3. Sketch your two Snorks

based on their 10 gene description.
