H.W. Finish inventing your own gene.  Reference your Invent your Own Gene worksheet for detailed instructions.

INVENT YOUR OWN GENE and MAKE YOUR OWN PROTEIN!!!  

1. Invent a gene.  Decide what will your gene do and what type of living organism has this gene. For example: a gene could give you the ability to fly or give your dog the ability to talk.
2. In the table below:
1. Come up with a DNA sequence that is 51 nitrogen bases long.  Organize your DNA as one codon (3 bases) per cell in the table.
2. Transcribe your DNA sequence into mRNA.  Write the correct codons in the table.
3. Translate your mRNA sequence into an amino acid chain.  Use your genetic code dictionary to help you.  

**Make sure that your first amino acid is methionine (start codon) and be sure to also include a stop codon at the end. 
3.Your Poster- use a blank sheet of printer paper:

a.) Title your poster paper with the name of your gene b.) Write down what type of organism makes this protein and what the protein does for this organism c.)  Copy down the DNA and mRNA sequences from your table onto your poster d.) Draw a picture of your organism with the gene  e.) use the directions in #4 below to create your amino acid sequence (protein).

4.Create your protein.  Use the amino acid key, shape templates, and markers to create your amino acids.  Each shape and color is a specific amino acid.  Draw the shapes in the order specified by your data table.  Use the correct shape & color & label the amino acid with the correct 3 letter abbreviation. For example: if your amino acid is Serine you would draw a triangle, color it green and then write the letters Ser inside the triangle.   Connect your amino acid shapes with a straight line to represent a peptide bond.  You can make the shape of the protein any way you like - it can be folded and coiled or bent any which way.
