Discuss Transcription and Translation

Let the students watch a video about the steps of Protein Synthesis:
RNA Transcription and Translation
Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG7uCskUOrA
 Guide Questions
1. Where do Transcription happen in human cell?
2. How RNA polymerase initiates Transcription?
3. What is the role of DNA strand in Transcription?
4. Where do Translation happen in human cell?
5. What is the function of ribosome in Translation?
6. What is the role of mRNA and tRNA in translation?
7. How amino acids are arranged?

E. Discussion new Activity 2: Using the illustration, arrange the steps of RNA Transcription
concepts and and Translation. Number accordingly.
practicing new
skills # 2

Number Steps
2 Nucleotides move into place along one of the strands
1 DNA is unzipped by the Enzyme RNA polymerase. The
two strands uncoil and separate
3 RNA polymerase assembles the complementary base
pairings
5 mRNA exits nucleus and moves to cytoplasm
4 mRNA separates from the DNA and the DNA is zipped up
by the RNA polymerase
7 Peptide bond is formed between amino acids attached
to tRNA
6 Ribosomes binds to the mRNA, reads mRNA by codon,
and draws tRNA with specific anti-codon
8 tRNA detaches from the amino acid and ribosome
9 Another amino acid is brought in until ‘stop’ codon is
reached.
F. Developing Discuss the Genetic codes for Amino Acid.

Assessment)

Activity 3: Decode the Code

Direction: Given the DNA template strand, write the complimentary
base pairs for mRNA and tRNA, and identify its specific amino acid.

G. Finding Practical Elicit the importance of Protein in the body using the following
