Translation Day 1

We are starting off another action packed week!  
Last week we got through an overview of Gene expression and specifically through Transcription.  This week we will focus on Translation and Mutations. I anticipate our exam on this chapter being next Tuesday or Wednesday!

Goals and Reminders for today:

Today's daily questions:

If you notice - Today's Module A Keystone questions go RIGHT along with what we are learning now.  I mentioned all through the first half of the year that this will all start to make sense as we go.  Hopefully you are seeing that now!

We then went into some notes:

At this point we took a look at our "Transcription and Translation Worksheet" and started to go through the first example.  The FIRST thing I had you do was "reverse" transcription (taking the mRNA and determining the original coding DNA sequence)

THEN - You used the Codon chart found on your Gene Expression Study Guide to fill in the corresponding amino acids.

Then we continued through notes:
