The following are the components of a cell that are involved with building proteins. Decide which parts of the model represent each of these components. Use the following word bank:

  • ingredients,
  • recipe,
  • chef who makes the burger

Draggable itemCorresponding Item
Ribosome: a part of the cell that receives the instructions and builds the protein
RECIPE
Gene: instructions for building a protein.
INGREDIENTS
Protein: a type of molecule that performs important functions inside organisms
CHEF WHO MAKES THE BURGER

Which claim about genes’ role in building proteins best fits considering the modeling activity you have just completed?

Part 4

Part 4: Intro to Mutations

You’ve probably heard of “mutations,” possibly in books or movies. We’re now going to model what happens when there is a mutation in a gene.
