DNA for Dinner Lesson 2: Language of Life

Use code to figure out characteristics and guess the organism with those characteristics.

Create a unique "M&M" code to describe a fruit or vegetable; let others guess the identity. (optional).

Read a DNA sequencing gel to determine the order of A's, C's, G's and T's. (optional).

The genome is written with a set of rules called the genetic code; that code is the same for all organisms.

Genetic code is made up of different arrangements of four chemical units that together are arranged in a sequence called DNA.
