GIZMO: Building DNA Questions and Answers 100% Pass Look at the DNA molecule shown to the right. What does it look like? a twisted ladder Based on this picture, how do you think a DNA molecule makes a copy of itself? it splits and untwists What are the two DNA components shown in the Gizmo? nucleoside and phosphate How many different nitrogenous bases do you see? 4 (Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Thymine) What makes up the sides of the DNA molecule? phosphates and sugar What makes up the r...

Vocabulary: double helix, DNA, enzyme, mutation, nitrogenous base, nucleoside, nucleotide, replication Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) DNA is an incredible molecule that forms the basis of life on Earth. DNA molecules contain instructions for building every living organism on Earth, from the tiniest bacterium to a massive blue whale. DNA also has the ability to replicate, or make copies of itself. This allows living things to grow and reproduce. 1. Look at e D...

Gizmos Lab RNA and Protein Synthesis 2. Vocabulary: amino acid, anticodon, codon, gene, messenger RNA, nucleotide, ribosome, RNA, RNA polymerase, transcription, transfer RNA, translation Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. Suppose you want to design and build a house. How would you communicate your design plans with the construction crew that would work on the house? 2. Cells build large, complicated molecules, such as proteins. What do you think cells use as ...

Look at the DNA molecule shown to the right. What does it look like? - a twisted ladder Based on this picture, how do you think a DNA molecule makes a copy of itself? - it splits and untwists What are the two DNA components shown in the Gizmo? - nucleoside and phosphate How many different nitrogenous bases do you see? - 4 (Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Thymine)

Directions: Follow the instructions to go through the simulation. Respond to the questions and prompts in the orange boxes. Vocabulary: amino acid, anticodon, codon, gene, messenger RNA, nucleotide, ribosome, RNA, RNA polymerase, transcription, transfer RNA, translation Gizmo Warm-up Just as a construction crew uses blueprints to build a house, a cell uses DNA as plans for building proteins. In addition to DNA, another nucleic acid, called RNA, is involved in making proteins. In the RNA a...
