RNA and Protein Synthesis
Go through the process of synthesizing proteins through RNA transcription and translation. Learn about the many steps involved in protein synthesis including: unzipping of DNA, formation of mRNA, attaching of mRNA to the ribosome, and linking of amino acids to form a protein.

Task Card: RNA and Protein Synthesis
This task card can be used for remote learning or in class as a small group or individual activity. Durin... (more)g this activity students will describe RNA and protein synthesis in three different ways - steps, components and overall process. Students should have an understanding of DNA and RNA structure.

Went through itself as a class, explaining and asking questions to students. Really put everything together for them.
