DNA and Polypeptide Synthesis
Why is polypeptide synthesis important?
Inquiry Question
Overview
- Construct appropriate representations to model and compare the forms in which DNA exists in eukaryotes and prokaryotes
- Model the process of polypeptide synthesis, including:
- Transcription and translation
- Assessing the importance of mRNA and tRNA in transcription and translation
- Assessing how genes and environment affect phenotypic expression
- Investigate the structure and function of proteins in living things
