Activity on Interactive Simulations

Completion requirements
Opened: Tuesday, 20 May 2025, 12:00 AM
Due: Tuesday, 27 May 2025, 12:00 AM


Understand DNA replication and transcription by interacting with animated simulations and quizzes.

Tools:

  • DNA Replication Interactive Animation – BioMan Biology
    https://biomanbio.com/HTML5GamesandLabs/LifeChemgames/replicationinteractivepage.html
    This interactive animation covers DNA replication and the enzymes involved, such as helicase, primase, DNA polymerase III, DNA polymerase I, and ligase. biomanbio.com

  • Transcribe and Translate a Gene – Learn Genetics Utah
    https://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/basics/transcribe/
    This tool allows students to simulate the process of transcription and translation, converting DNA sequences into mRNA and then into amino acid chains. Teach Genetics+1Learn Genetics+1

Instructions:

  1. Access both simulation tools using the links provided.

  2. Explore the animations and interactive features to understand the processes.

  3. Take notes on key enzymes and stages of each process.

  4. Complete the following tasks:

    • Write a summary paragraph for each process (DNA replication, transcription).

    • Create a comparison table for replication vs. transcription (enzymes, templates, products, location
