Each drawing should teach different information.
Below, there are links with readings and animation to help you understand each concept. There are also scoring guides for each of your drawings.
DNA REPLICATION
Your drawing should show what DNA looks like when it is being replicated. It should:
1. List the steps in replication in order
2. Be neat and colorful
3. Use the following vocabulary correctly: DNA helicase, DNA ligase, DNA polymerase correctly
4. Label the leading strand and the lagging strands, and well as 3 and 5 prime ends

TRANSCRIPTION
Your drawing should show what DNA looks like when it is being transcripted into an RNA strand. It should:
1. List the steps of transcription in order
2. Be neat and colorful
3. Use the following vocabulary correctly: RNA polymerase, promoter, terminator, mRNA correctly
4. Label the promoter, terminator, DNA strand and RNA strand
TRANSLATION
Your drawing should show what RNA looks like when it is being translated into a protein. It should:
1. List the steps of translation in order
2. Be neat and colorful
