Class 11/18/11

Hi Guys!

Today in class we did another lab on the structure of DNA, although this time we focused on protein synthesis. In this lab we started with a regular strand of DNA and the completed the process of Transcription and Translation. The DNA would successfully be made into RNA and be attached to a a ribasome. Many amino acids would be produced and mRNA would carry the newly produced protein out into the nucleous.

I'm sorry I couldn't upload pictures my phone is really old and I don't have the software.

Anyway we have alot of homework this weekend so make sure to get it all done!
