DO NOW
1. Take out your DNA internet activity.
2. Pick up the 2 Snork activity sheets from the
front desk.

SNORKS
• 1. Transcribe the DNA strand to RNA.
• Translate the snorks’ RNA using your
codon chart. Write the amino acid
abbreviations below each codon.
Ex: GUC = VAL
• 2. Using the amino acids you wrote
below each gene, determine what
traits the organism has and record
them in the table.
• 3. Sketch your two Snorks based on
their 10 gene description.
