Topic 4.2: DNA and protein synthesis (AQA A-level Biology)

Each of the 3 lessons in this bundle are fully-resourced and have been designed to cover the content as detailed in topic 4.2 (DNA and protein synthesis) of the AQA A-Level Biology specification. The specification points that are covered within these lessons include:

• The concept of the genome and the proteome
• The structure of mRNA
• The structure of tRNA
• Transcription as the production of mRNA from DNA
• The differences between the outcome of transcription in porkaryotes and eukaryotes
• Splicing
• Translation as the production of polypeptides from the sequence of codons on mRNA

The lessons have been written to include a wide range of activities and numerous understanding and prior knowledge checks so students can assess their progress against the current topic as well as be challenged to make links to other topics within this topic and earlier topics
