FOLD YOUR PAPER AS SHOWN BY MRS. BASEPAYNE

Replication, Transcription & Translation Foldable

Directions

On the front of the foldable set it up as follows:

Replication

DNA

Transcription

RNA

Translation

PROTEIN

TAB 1: REPLICATION

DEFINE REPLICATIONDRAW AND WRITE EACH STEP OF REPLICATION

SIMILAR TO PAGE 237 IN YOUR TEXTBOOKANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

1. WHERE IN THE CELL DOES DNA REPLICATION OCCUR?2. WHAT ENZYME UNZIPS THE DNA MOLECULE?3. WHAT ENZYME ADDS AND BONDS THE NEW

NUCLEOTIDES TO THE DNA MOLECULE?4. HOW ARE MISTAKES CORRECTED DURING DNA

REPLICATION?5. SINCE THE NEW DNA MOLECULES OF MADE UP OF

HALF THE OLD DNA AND HALF NEW DNA, DNA REPLICATION IS .

Tab 2: Transcription DNA RNA

Draw a picture showing transcription – Make sure it is LABELED! SEE PAGE 241

Step by step directions of what happens during transcription – can be part of your diagram.

What are the three types of RNA made during transcription? What is each of their functions?

How do RNA and DNA differ?What role does RNA polymerase play during

transcription? How is DNA polymerase different from RNA

polymerase?

Tab 3: Translation RNA Protein

Draw a picture showing translation – Make sure it is LABELED!

Step by step directions of what happens during translation – can be part of your diagram.

What is made during translation?What is a codon? Anticodon?What is a start codon? Stop codon?Explain why the genetic code is universal.
