What you’ll teach

Clear goals. Useful learning.

  • Students will transcribe DNA sequences into complementary mRNA sequences.
  • Students will translate mRNA codons into amino acid sequences.
  • Students will use a genetic code chart to identify amino acids.
  • Students will connect protein synthesis to observable genetic traits.
