DNA & Protein Synthesis
The students should be able to:
- explain why the genetic code is universal
- explain why there are similarities in the genetic code of different organisms: most organisms share a common ancestry and the process of inheritance carries traits from generation to generation
- describe the basic process of DNA replication
- explain why DNA replication has a role in the transmission and conservation of the genetic material
- demonstrate the process of DNA replication given a DNA strand
- analyze the causes of gene and chromosomal mutations to predict the possible effects in a DNA sequence
- explain how mutations in a DNA sequence may or may not result in a phenotypic change
- explain how mutations in gametes may result in phenotypic changes in offspring
- describe the basic processes of protein synthesis: transcription and translation
- explain how transcription and translation result in the expression of genes
- demonstrate transcription given a DNA template
- demonstrate translation given an mRNA message segment and a codon table
