Proteins Media Piece
Introduced in the Genes section of this guide:
In this media piece you are making an original labeled drawing of protein synthesis. Sketch/draw the synthesis of a hypothetical protein fragment within a cell. Include the following labeled elements:
-
cell
-
nucleus
-
cytoplasm
-
amino acids
-
the DNA sequence of TCA-ACG-CGA
-
the corresponding mRNA sequence
-
the specific amino acid sequence produced (mini polypeptide)
-
ribosome (rRNA)
-
tRNA
-
nucleotides in a codon
-
transcription
-
translation
Media Piece Directions
Upload your labeled protein synthesis drawing to Canvas.
