Teacher Demo: How protein synthesis relates to Jack Horner's Idea to create a dinosaur.
SC.912.L.16.5 - Explain the basic processes of
transcription and translation, and how they result in the expression of genes.
Which
Organism is Most Closely Related to a Dinosaur? (#1-7, 1 being closest related)
Human (Homo sapiens)
Salamander (Cynops)
Chicken (Gallus gallus)
Rat (Rattus norvegicus)
Mouse (Mus musculus)
Dog (Canis lupus familiarus)
PREDICTION: Which organisms did you choose to be #1?
Why?
In
the space below, explain why you ordered the remaining organisms the way you
did. Why is your #2 ahead of your #3?
Why is your #7 last? What are you basing
your decisions on?!
Questions to answer during the video:
- Who is Jack Horner?
What was his hypothesis about Dinosaurs?
- How and why do you
think we can use protein instead of just DNA to tell us how closely
related two species are?
- Which two are most
similar: Human, Chimpanzee, Bluefin Tuna?
- Why is it unlikely that
in real life we will ever be able to get dinosaur DNA out of a petrified
mosquito?
- Heme is part of a
protein found in red blood cells. Why do you think they could find intact
pieces of protein but not DNA?

- Which organism appears to be the most closely related to T-Rex? Does that support your hypothesis? Explain!
- What are atavisms?
- What does Horner’s tea,
plan on doing in order to make a chicken into a dinosaur?
- What use does Jack
Horner see the dinosaur being?
- Do you think this is a
good idea? What are some of the positives and negatives you see in this
experiment?
