DNA STANDARDS FLIP BOOK
You will be creating a flipbook that shows your understanding of DNA structure and function. Your
flipbook should be colorful, neat (type or clear handwriting), and organized. Follow the requirements
below and show pictures when necessary and definitions when called for. TITLE EACH PAGE WITH
THE BOLD WORDS BELOW. ABOVE EACH TITLE WRITE THE STANDARD.
FOLLOW THE PAGES GUIDELINES BELOW:
COVER PAGE: Title it Structure and Function of DNA. Be sure to put your name on the cover.
PAGE 1: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION: Draw and identify the STRUCTURE AND
FUNCTION of DNA. Be sure to label all of its parts. (Section 8.2 in your book – Fig. 8.7 & more labels)
STANDARD: Students know the general structure and functions of DNA, RNA, and protein.
PAGE 2: REPLICATION: Draw (Fig. 8.8) and define replication. Explain why replication is important.
Explain what base pairing means and how it applies to DNA. (Section 8.3 in your book)
STANDARD: Students know how to apply base-pairing rules to explain precise copying of DNA during
semi conservative replication and transcription of information from DNA into mRNA.
PAGE 3: RNA AND PROTEIN: List, draw and define the 3 kinds of RNA (pg 243, 245) and the parts
of a protein (pg.47 – polymer).
STANDARD: Students know the general structures and functions of DNA, RNA, and protein.
PAGE 4: CENTRAL DOGMA (from DNA to a protein): Identify the central dogma of biology.
EXPLAIN AND DRAW IT. (Fig. 8.10)) This needs to show that the directions for making a protein are
found in the DNA. You may want to include the series of steps needed to get from the DNA to a protein.
STANDARD: Genes are a set of instructions encoded in the DNA sequence of each organism that specify
the sequence of amino acids in proteins characteristic of that organism.
PAGE 5: TRANSCRIPTION: Define and draw a picture, with labels, of transcription (Fig. 8.11).
STANDARD: Students know the general pathway by which ribosomes synthesize proteins, using tRNA to
translate genetic information in mRNA.
PAGE 6: TRANSLATION: Draw, label and describe the process of translation (Fig. 8.16)
STANDARD: Students know the general pathway by which ribosomes synthesize proteins, using tRNA to
translate genetic information in mRNA.
PAGE 7: GENETIC CODE: Draw 3 strands of DNA, one that is 15 bases long, one that is 12 bases
long, and one that is 9 bases long. TRANSCRIBE the DNA and TRANSLATE the DNA showing the
amino acid sequences. (Use figure 8.13 and 8.14 to help you translate)
STANDARD: Students know proteins can differ from one another in the number and sequence of amino
acids.
STANDARD: Students know how to apply the genetic coding rules to predict the sequence of amino acids
from a sequence of codons in RNA.
PAGE 8: MUTATION: Describe and draw the 2 examples of Gene mutations (Page 252 and Fig. 8.20).
Describe, draw and define the 2 types of chromosomal mutations. (Page 253))
STANDARD: students know how mutations in the DNA sequence of a gene may or may not affect the
expression of the gene or the sequence of amino acids in an encoded protein.
