Transcription The Central Dogma RNA Polymerase Ribosome DNA transcription replication RNA translation Protein One gene encodes one protein? (Beadle and Tatum‚ 1941) • • • Cellular machinery is largely made up of proteins. Proteins are made up of chains or sequences of amino acids. The sequence of these amino acids are "encoded" in the cell’s DNA. DNA is transcribed into RNA‚ which is then translated into protein. When one gene is mutated‚ one protein is affected (usually

Samantha Meyer BIOL 303 Environmental Lesson Plan Title: Weather in a Cup / The Water Cycle Grade Level: 3rd Purpose: The purpose of this activity is to learn about the water cycle‚ specifically clouds and precipitation. Objective: Students will be able to create their own “weather in a cup” that represents how water droplets within a cloud grow and become heavy‚ which results in falling through the clouds to the Earth‚ known as precipitation. Materials: Shaving cream (Enough for whole

What organic molecule can be detected with Lugol’s? By using the Lugol’s iodine test‚ we can detect the presence of starches. Why put Lugol’s in the beaker and not the bag? When we put the Lugol’s regent (I2Kl) in the beaker‚ we can observe the effects of osmosis as the Lugol’s regent (I2Kl) solution on the outside of the beaker permeates the intestine (Dialysis tubing) inducing a chemical reaction that will turn the liquid in the intestine (Dialysis tubing) blue-black. If the amylase successfully
