From DNA to Protein explains the reasons why offspring usually resemble their parents. Colorful models illustrate how genes are expressed – how the information encoded in DNA is used to build proteins. This involved subject is handled in a thorough and concise manner. Animations reproduce microscopic concepts such as amino acid attachment to RNA, polypeptide elongation, and more.

Topics covered in this program: One Gene-One Enzyme Hypothesis; The Studies of Sir Archibald Garrod; The Studies of George Beadle and Edward Tatum; One Gene-One Polypeptide Hypothesis; The Structure of DNA; The Structure of RNA; Transcription; and Translation

Presentation
The Presentation portion of this program includes audio-narrated scenes featuring the content from the objectives.

 

Interactive Lessons
Students can work through different activities that directly reinforce the information learned in the Presentation.
