NGSS HS-LS1-1: Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the structure of DNA determines the structure of proteins which carry out the essential functions of life through systems of specialized cells.
Click on the DNA bases (top row) to mutate the sequence. Observe how it changes the mRNA and protein.
Select a specialized cell type to see if the produced protein functions correctly within it.
The amino acid sequence determines the 3D shape of the protein.
Does the protein structure fit its function in the chosen cell?
Record observations to construct your explanation of how DNA determines protein structure and cell function.
