Description
Given an amino acid sequence, work backward to determine the correct RNA sequence followed by the correct DNA sequence. The amino acid sequence codes for the Green Fluorescent Protein which is a glowing protein that has been isolated from jellyfish for a variety of applications.
1) Print the Protein RNA DNA Puzzle on 11x17 piece of paper
2) Introduce with a fun YouTube video to introduce Green Fluorescent Protein (like this one)
2) Hand out the Puzzle and ask students to determine the double-stranded DNA sequence based on the amino acid sequence that is provided on the worksheet.
