Learning Targets – Unit 9
DNA, RNA, PROTEIN SYNTHESIS, & MUTATIONS
If we, as a class, can begin each statement with, “We can…” then we will have achieved our goal of
truly understanding our learning targets.
Here are our learning targets for this unit!
Your goal for the end of this unit is
to be able to say, “I
can…”
explain the principal function of DNA
describe the structure of DNA
diagram and label the 3 parts of a nucleotide
explain the role of complementary base pairing in the
replication of DNA
summarize the main features of DNA replication
explain the primary functions of each type of RNA
compare the structure of DNA with RNA
summarize the process of transcription
summarize the process of translation
distinguish between a codon and an anticodon
You will be
introduced to
this topic during
the following
sections…
DNA

DNA/RNA
DNA
DNA
RNA
DNA/RNA
RNA
Protein Synthesis
RNA/Protein
Synthesis
state where codons and anticodons are found
RNA/Protein
Synthesis
state the location of the following processes within a DNA/RNA/
cell: replication, transcription, translation
Protein Synthesis
define and identify the following terminology:
DNA/RNA/
a.DNA
b.RNA (mRNA,tRNA,rRNA)
Protein
c.Nucleotide (A,T,G,C, and U)
d.Base pair Synthesis/
e.Hydrogen bonding
f.Sugar
g.Phosphate Mutations
h.Watson and Crick
i.Genetic code
j.Replication
k.Transcription
l.Translation
m.Codon
n.Anticodon
o.Amino acid
p.Mutation
q.Substitution (point)
r.Somatic
s.Germ-line
t.Frameshift (insertion vs. deletion)
How do you feel?
I know this stuff!
I could use some
help...
Ahh! What is this?
