Description
In this engaging hands-on protein synthesis activity, students embark on an interactive journey inside the cell nucleus. They begin by transcribing DNA into mRNA, simulating the crucial step of gene expression. With their newly formed mRNA in hand, they venture towards the ribosome, where the magic of translation takes place. Here, students dive into the fascinating world of tRNA and anti-codons, skillfully matching them to decode the mRNA and unlock the corresponding amino acids. By utilizing a codon chart, they make thrilling discoveries and witness the intricate process of protein synthesis unfold before their eyes.
This activity is perfect for pairs or small groups, providing an ideal platform for test review, small-group discussions, or valuable hands-on practice that bridges the gap between theory and application.
Even better is that it comes with a digital version students can do on their computer or that absence students can use to make up the lab!
