1. Copy the following DNA molecule:
* ATTAGCTAGGACGA*TAATCGATC CTGC T
2. Compare replication and transcription. Consider:Purpose, monomers, process, location, time (when)
Transcribe the upper (template) strand into RNA.
3. Which molecule must be more stable (lasts longer before it breaks down), RNA or DNA? Explain.
(Guidance: Base your answer on the function of each molecule)

Preparing for a GIST: Translation
List the information that answers to:
What?Where?
What for?How?
p.243
Include the information in a 20-word GIST!
How many monomer types in nucleic acids?
How many monomer types in proteins?
How many combinations possible for a 3 letter RNA sequence? Explain.
Watch the video clip of transcription.
1) What is the product of this process? How does it appear in the video?
2) Write at least two details of the process that you have noticed: how does it work?
3) What should happen in the next step?
1) An average protein is made of 100 amino acids, how many nucleotides long is an average mRNA?
2) How many different codons (AAA, AAC, AAG….UUU) can possibly exist? Explain.
3) What is the importance of “Start” and “Stop” codons?

Watch the video clip of translation.
1) What is the product of this process? How does it appear in the video?
2) Write at least FIVE LINES: how does it work?
3) What are the two ‘languages’, before and after translation?

Protein Synthesis Simulation:A. On the back of your ‘board’:1. Copy the DNA (‘gene’).2. Write the mRNA sequence.3. Divide (commas) into codons.4. List tRNA anti-codons.5. List words = Sentence?!B. Answer questions, reflect.C. If you feel like it – solve another riddle!

1. Transcribe the template strand into mRNA.2. Divide into 3-letter codons3. Write the anti-codons.4. List the resulting order of amino acids
The mRNA can be of any length between 300 to 1,500 nucleotides (more than the actual coding sequence). 1. Think - How will the ribosome
‘know’ where to start the translation of the protein?
2. What do you expect the ribosome to do when it ‘hits’ a stop codon?

All of the cells in our body contain exactly the same DNA set. So, how is it possible that cells of the liver differ from muscle cells (or other)?
Explain according to what you know so far about gene expression.
