4.8 perform a first-hand investigation or process information from secondary sources to develop a simple model for polypeptide synthesis
perform a first-hand investigation or process information from secondary sources to develop a simple model for polypeptide synthesis
- You could choose to perform a first hand investigation using beads and plasticine to model polypeptide synthesis. Include in your model the transfer of information from DNA to messenger RNA (mRNA). You will also need to make a model of transfer RNA and of several amino acids. Alternatively, you could process information from an animation, such as those indicated below. When doing this activity, evaluate the relevance of first-hand and secondary information in relation to the understanding of the process of polypeptide synthesis.
- You could test your understanding of protein synthesis by attempting to explain it to a friend in your class.
