Nucleotide Base Pair Matching in Amino Acids
Before doing your assignment, get some practice by visiting the site below:
http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/begin/dna/transcribe/
In this assignment you will match the base pair nucleotides. Remember...
Adenine (A) always pairs with Thymine (T)
Guanine (G) always pairs with Cytosine (C)
In this activity, you will be given 10 amino acids to work with. Amino acids are the building blocks of life. Everything starts with amino acids. Combinations of A,T,C and G make the amino acids.
You are only given one strand of the amino acids. Your job is to figure out the other side by matching the base pairs.
Then, you need to figure out the codons and color them. Remember, a codon is a sequence of 3 nucleotides.

Protons are positive, nucleus they live;
Neutrons are neutral, zero charge they give;
Electrons on the outside, round and round they go;
negatively charged, that you always know.
CHORUS:
Balance it out, balance it out,
Protons and electrons, equal amounts,
Balance it out, balance it out,
Neutrons: bottom-top, figure it out!

My name is Mr. Hawkins. I teach 7th grade science at Besteiro Middle School. I love science and technology. In fact, I believe all people love science deep down inside. Don't believe that? Do you enjoy TV, movies, video games, food, the bed you sleep on, cars or the Internet? Then you love science.
My goal is to help all students find a love for science and to help prepare them for the TAKS Science test in April.
