Description
This activity is designed to help our students master the concepts of transcription and translation. The details of these concepts are very difficult for many of our students. This activity provides a visual method of teaching students how the information stored in DNA produces traits and characteristics in living organisms. Using a DNA template, students will transcribe mRNA, and translate the information to create a “mystery organism.” Choose to use the traditional printable version, or the paperless, digital Google Apps version.
This resource is perfect for distance learning and for students in 1:1 classrooms.

Protein Synthesis: Determining the Traits of a Mystery Organism Through Translation and Protein Synthesis. This fun DNA and RNA activity teaches students how to read the code of messenger RNA codons and translate the code to determine the proteins that are made to produce the characteristics of a "mystery organism." The student must determine which proteins will be made to produce the mystery organism. By simulating the process of protein synthesis, the traits of the organism will be determined.

- Teacher Guide and Answer Key
Many times students have trouble with the concepts involved in protein synthesis. This is a fun activity that reinforces transcription and translation. Students are given a DNA template and must determine the complementary mRNA codon sequence, tRNA anticodon sequence, and the amino acid sequence. The order of the amino acids will determine the traits in the "mystery organism."
This activity is suitable for biology students in grades 9-12.
Materials Needed: Colored Pencils and Paper
The included Teacher Guide contains pre-lab discussion, answers to all questions, and some post lab follow up ideas.
