For Protein Synthesis links, scroll down or click here. Also check out Section 8.4 and 8.5 of your textbook.
NOTE: Homework for the weekend beginning Friday, 2/6/15 is to write down the detailed steps that occur during the process of Protein Synthesis. You should have a list of sequential (in order) events that occur during transcription and during translation. You should be detailed enough to state what "characters" (molecules) are involved in each step and the order events occur. This can be in numbered format or narrative, but more students will find numbering is more helpful. This homework should be written in your notebook. You should indicate what source/types of sources you used to get your information (for example, from a video, from the textbook...). HINT: If you do this assignment correctly, you will essentially have made an answer key to the "card arrange" activity from class on Friday! This is due Monday, 2/9/15 in your notebook!
