Lesson: The Genetic Code Biology

In this lesson, we will learn how to describe the nature of the genetic code and recall how information is transferred from DNA to protein.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

  • recall that information is transferred from DNA to mRNA to protein by transcription and translation,
  • recognize the purpose of codons and derive a sequence of amino acids from given codons,
  • describe the nature of the genetic code as being nonoverlapping, degenerate, and universal.
