7G – Upper School Science – Genes and Proteins

Written by SarahPaquette on February 14, 2018. Posted in Sarah Paquette (Science)

During this Core Experience Learning Lab (CELL), students will perform experiments to model the process of information transfer from DNA to RNA to protein. Students will then model mutations and the resulting changes in RNA and proteins and examine the relationship between protein structure and function. Finally, students will investigate mitosis to demonstrate how a change in one cell’s DNA could effect the entire organism.
