Transcript
DO NOW • Please Read the Article on your desk • Pick the sheets up on the cart • Fill in the slot notes for HW – They are on my website Questions • Genetics • Genetics is the study of genes, heredity, and genetic variation in living organisms. • Write down a list of questions you have Agenda • Design a Hybrid animal Here are some ideas What is a Gene? • A gene is a sequence of bases that is the directions for how to make a specific protein. • The protein that is made will determine the trait that the organism has. What is a Gene? • Remember: Your DNA is a code that tells your cells everything they need to know to make you you! • If your hair is brown, it’s because your DNA code is telling your cells to make a specific protein. That protein makes your hair brown. http://statedclearly.com/videos/what-is-a-gene/ How do Cells Make Protein? • Cells use a type of nucleic acid called RNA to make protein. • There are 3 types of RNA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Elo-zX1k8M How do Cells Make Protein? • The process of making protein is called Protein Synthesis and it happens in two steps: 1. Transcription (using mRNA) 2. Translation (using tRNA and Ribosomes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5mJbP23Buo Coding for Amino Acids • Remember, proteins are made out of long strings of amino acids, and there are only 20 different amino acids.
