You will astonish your students with how much information is in one gene just by unrolling this 15 foot map in the classroom.
⚠ Warning
Description
Students often wonder if all the DNA in a gene is a code for a protein. Working in teams or small groups, they answer their own question while getting a glimpse of bioinformatics, that is the study of information DNA encodes. As they collaborate, students will:
- Initiate their investigation by examining the amino acid sequence of the ß-globin gene
- Locate reading frames
- Utilize triplet codons
- Discover introns and exons
