---->Protein Synthesis can be broken down into two main steps......... 1. Transcription
And 2. Translation
-Objectives for Protein Synthesis -•Summarize the processes of transcription and translation and explain the importance of each process in the production of proteins.
-•Determine the order of amino acids in a protein given a strand of DNA.
-•Relates that a change in the order of amino acids in a protein will change the shape and function of the protein as a result of a mutation
-•compare the structure of DNA and RNA -•identify a picture/diagram of the processes of transcription translation, and label the steps
