Gene Expression assignment

Wednesday April 1st

Today you took your Daily Question Quiz on Edline.  Hopefully this is how you are feeling now!! ;)


NOW, don't even for a SECOND think that i would give you a MOMENT of down time...

HANG TIGHT GUYS!!!!!

You will be performing a couple  different tasks online and documenting your findings on a handout I provided.

FIRST though..... I would like you to watch this short YouTube clip and answer the questions I gave you. ( You may want to pause it in order to get through all the questions)

NEXT - You are going to take a stab at transcribing and translating your DNA / RNA through two different animations.

FIRST go to http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/molecules/transcribe/

Follow all the instructions in the animation and document your work as you go.

SECOND go to http://www.biotechnologyonline.gov.au/popups/int_transcription.html and http://www.biotechnologyonline.gov.au/popups/int_translation.html

You will go through transcription first

Then through translation

FINALLY - you are to click through this final animation
