Biology Unit 2 TST day

Learning objective: Students will learn about the cause and effect of mutations by analyzing and interpreting a simulation in writing using technical vocabulary (silent mutation, frameshift mutation, transcription, translation, ribosome, mRNA, DNA, tRNA, nucleotides).

Questions:

1. What happens during transcription? (brain/book)
2. What happens during translation? (brain/book)
3. Which do you think is worse: an error during transcription or an error during translation? (brain)
