Unit 6 Pt 2 - Protein Synthesis & Mutations

​Unit 6A Pt2 -
Protein Synthesis and Mutations

HS-LS1-1: Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the structure of DNA determines the structure of proteins which carry out the essential functions of life through systems of specialized cells.

HS-LS3-1: Ask questions to clarify relationships about the role of DNA and chromosomes in coding the instructions for characteristic traits passed from parents to offspring.
