Genetic Mutations Worksheet (TpT): This worksheet has students transcribe and translate a sequence of DNA using a codon chart. Students then compare a set of mutated DNA to the original DNA to determine the type of mutation. This is an excellent sheet to combine protein synthesis with genetic mutations and helps students to connect the two. I developed this worksheet when I was student teaching and have used it since. I love it because it combines protein synthesis with mutations and let's students really see how mutations may or may not affect the outcome of a gene.
DNA Structure Graphic Organizer (TpT): This worksheet provides students with a generalized graphic of the structure of DNA. It shows base pairing in action and allows students to label key parts of the DNA's structure. After labeling the graphic, students are asked a series of questions regarding DNA. You can use this worksheet as either guided notes or it works will for reinforcement or a summarizer. The graphic is hand drawn by yours truly.
DNA Replication Graphic Organizer (TpT): This worksheet goes through the steps of DNA replication. Students label key structures in DNA replication as well as the steps of DNA replication. The diagram is hand drawn and is meant to be easily comparable to most textbook diagrams for easy transfer. I've used it with a class before and it went very smoothly. I personally like that it puts the text next to the diagram.
Protein Synthesis Graphic Organizer (TpT): This graphic organizer allows students to have descriptions right next to the picture of protein synthesis. It also allows for students to see where the processes take place. The graphic is hand drawn and is meant to be similar to what you see in most textbooks. I love that it is one continuous graphic of transcription and translation instead of broken down into two. I've often found that students don't want to connect the two so I feel this does a nice job of helping students visualize the connection.
