Protein Synthesis Translation Activity
This activity is designed to help our students master the concepts of transcription and translation. The details of these concepts are very difficult for many of our students. This activity provides a visual method of teaching students how the information stored in DNA produces traits and characteristics in living organisms. Using a DNA template, students will transcribe mRNA, and translate the information to create a “mystery organism.” Choose to use the traditional printable version, or the p
