Model
20 pts

Model is accurate showing all essential components. Any parts that move can be manipulated and moved appropriately.

Poor

Many components involved in protein synthesis are missing. During the presentation, many of the names used to describe parts are incorrect.
Fair

One or two components involved in protein synthesis are missing. During the presentation, one or two of the names used to describe parts are incorrect.
Good

All components are present and properly names during the presentation.
Excellent

All components are present and proper terminology is used in the presentation. Extra effort for clarity and detail in the model and presentation reflect a thorough understanding of the process.
Genetic Code
20 pts

At least two DNA triplet codes are properly transcribed into 2 mRNA codons

Poor

Codes are incorrectly transcribed or not shown. The process of translation is missing components and/or the description names components incorrectly.
Fair

Only one code is transcribed correctly
Good

Two or more codes are transcribed and presented correctly
Excellent

Two or more codes are transcribed and presented correctly and with extra effort for clarity and detail. Presentation reflects a solid understanding of the translation of mRNA to amino acids.
Connections (one)
20 pts

At least two codon-anticodon combinations are properly labeled

Poor

Codon-anticodon combinations are not understood or missing
Fair

Only one codon-anticodon combination is shown correctly
Good

Two or more codon-anticodon combinations are shown correctly
Excellent

Two or more codon-anticodon combinations are shown correctly with an extra effort for clarity and detail
Connection (two)
20 pts

At least two amino acids are linked by pertide bonds showing the beginnings of a peptide chain (translation)

Poor

Connections between DNA or mRNA code and amino acids is not represented clearly or accurately
Fair

Only one amino acid is shown without any reference to peptide bonds
Good

Two or more amino acids are shown with one or more peptide bonds labeled between the amino acids
Excellent

Two or more amino acids are shown with one or more peptide bonds clearly labeled between amno acids. A peptide chain is clearly represented.
Correct coding
20 pts

All DNA, mRNA, tRNA and amino acids shall match proper triplet codes

Poor

Two or more of the codes shown (DNA-mRNA), (mRNA-tRNA), (mRNA translated to amino acid sequence) are incorrect
Fair

One of the codes shown is incorrect
Good

All codes are accurate
Excellent

All codes are accurate but drawing/model represented with extra clarity and detail



Keywords:
  • DNA, mRNA, rRNA (ribosome), tRNA, amino acids, peptide bonds
