Instructions for LifeChapter 8
Major Concepts• DNA is found in all living things and carries the
genetic code for their characteristics.• DNA can replicate to pass its genetic information
to newly formed cells.• DNA serves as a template for making proteins.• Proteins are substances essential to life.• Mutations in DNA result in changes in proteins
that can be advantageous, detrimental, or neutral (have no effect) to individual organisms and their species.
• Similarities in DNA show relatedness of organisms.
Chapter 8 Vocabulary• Extract• Deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA• Code• Antiparallel• Double helix• Eukaryotes• Chromosomes• Protein• Nucleotides• Phosphate• Deoxyribose• Ribonucleic acid, RNA• Messenger RNA• Adenine• Cytosine• Thymine• guanine
• Nitrogen base• Complementary• Base pairing• Double stranded• Replication• Enzyme• DNA Polymerase• Hydrogen bond• Covalent bond• Template• Transcription• Translation• Protein synthesis• Transfer RNA• Ribosomal RNA• Amino acid

DMA – Day 1 Explore: Just the Fax• List as many uses for codes that you have heard
of or imagine.
Just the Fax – Note to teacher• The activity is comparable to how early fax
machines worked and binary codes of computers.• If a students realizes that the 1 will take the shape
of letters in a word, they may be able to see the word just looking at the handout from a distance and thus shortcut the activity.
• Cora may have a substitute activity that introduces students to the DNA code in a different fashion.
• Instead of using graph paper, students can shade in the #1s to show the letters spelling the hidden word.
Engage – Just the Fax• Materials: • Copymaster 8.1 Coded Messages (15 different
messages available)• Graph Papers (skip & just shade in 1s to reveal
letters of hidden word)• 1 large sheet of paper• Sticky notes (unnecessary – students can record
hidden words on the board)
Engage – Just the Fax (Decoding)
1. Obtain a sample code.2. Shade in the zeros on the sample code.3. Spell out the what the code reveals and prepare
to share it with the class.
Explore – Just the FaxA. Process and Procedure #1-7. Students map a binary code
onto graph paper to determine the message and record the list of decoded messages for research in “Words to Live By.”
B. Reflect and Connect #1-3 Students answer in the notebookC. Reflect and Connect #4 Students concept map the decoded
messages. (They are limited to simplistic spelling patterns due to their lack of knowledge of the terms.)
D. Research the decoded message terms – Provide copies of the copymaster 8.2 to find the function, composition & role of each decoded message. (If research isn’t feasible, perhaps a crossword puzzle identifying that each can be proteins (or polypeptides) and their uses.)
Introductory DNA Videos• Genes, Genetics & DNA 24 minutes• • Biology: The Science of Life: DNA: The
Master Molecule of Life
Explore – What is this Stuff?• DMA: What substances are found in all types of
plants and animals?
Teacher Notes – What is this Stuff?• This is a DNA extraction from banana, peas &
chickens.• Prepare blended mixtures as described on page
400 before class.• Part I: Students add detergent, meat tenderizer
and cold alcohol to mixture to extract DNA at interface. (Add spool with a splint to the protocol to spool the DNA
• Part II: Students observe a model of a cell with DNA with yarn in a plastic bag inside a paper bag.
• *See page 404a for a table of comparison of the model to the cell.
Explore – What is this Stuff? Part I
A. Process and Procedure (Page 400)Answer questions 1& 2 B. P & P #3 Gather MaterialsC. P & P #4 Follow the Protocol on page 401 to
Extract a Substance that all organisms have in common. BE CAREFUL & GENTLE
D. Page 402 P&P 5 & 6B. #5 b & cC. #6 Compare DNA from all 3 samples
DNA Extraction from Peas, Banana & ChickenPrelab Questions:
List 3 things you already know about DNA.What do the above organisms have in
common?What do you expect the DNA to look like?
Question: Will the amount of DNA differ between the organism types?Hypothesis: If…, then…, because…Procedures: Rewrite the protocol on page 401. You may include drawings to help you understand the procedures.Variables: manipulated _____ responding _____
controlled _____, _____

Explore – What is this Stuff? Part IIPage 403 & 404 Process and Procedure #1-3Complete the table comparing your teacher’s cell model to the protocol to extract DNA you did in the lab.Part in the Model
What part of the cell does it represent?
What happens to the part in the teacher demo?
How did this get done in the lab procedure?
Paper Bag Blender separated many cells. Woolite dissolved proteins & lipids of cell wall
Nucleus
All the chromosomes in the cell
Once the nucleus broke up the chromosomes wer no longer in the cells
1 piece of yarn
The teacher pulls 1 strand from 1 piece of yarn
Explain – Clips of DNA (Part I)DMA: What does DNA look like?A. Students read “The Code in DNA” and answer the
READING QUESTIONS. (No reading questions have been developed)
B. Modeling the Structure of DNA - Students use colored paperclips to build a single strand of DNA
C. Students read “Double the Code” and answer the READING QUESTIONS.
D. Students use paper clips to build the complementary strand of DNA. Then they twist them into a double helix.
Stop & Think (Page 412) Answer questions 1-3
Explain – Clips of DNA (Part II)
DMA: How are copies of DNA made to be passed on?A. Read “Copying DNA” and answer the READING
