1. DO NOW 1.Take out your DNA internet activity. 2.Pick up the 2 Snork activity sheets from the front desk. 3.Translate the following RNA strand into amino acids using your Codon chart. AUGCGC UUUCAUGAGUAA

2. DNA, RNA, AND Protein Synthesis Lab

3. 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. PICK 2 SNORKS

4. Snicker Snork Sample Gene 1 DNA strand: CAGTCG TTT RNA strand: GUCAGC AAA Amino acids: VALSER LYS Gene 1 = Hairy

5. INSPIRATION! Due Monday!!!
