SCIENCE 10
S.Y. 2020-2021
Name: _____________________________________________ Date: ___________________________
Grade & Section: ______________________ Score: _______ Parent’s Signature: ________________
I. Objectives: Create a cartographic sketch of a suspect based on the resulting traits after applying the
concept of protein synthesis.
II. Activity Proper
Directions:
1. Study the given scenario (see attached activity) and study the profile of the suspects and additional
information.
2. Using your knowledge about DNA and RNA base-pairing, decode the DNA sample in order to identify
the sequence of amino acids. Use the amino acid identifier chart as your reference.
3. Compare the sequence of amino acids (proteins) to the profile of the suspects and additional information
given in order to determine the corresponding traits.
4. Name the culprit using the data or information you got.
5. Using the pencil and crayons make a cartographic sketch of the suspect.
SUMMARY OF YOUR FINDINGS
Q1. What amino acids sequences did you get upon decoding the genes?
nose hair lips
shape of eyes ear attachment
type of hair
Q2. What are the traits of the culprit based on your data?
__________________________________________________________________________________
Q3. Who among the suspects matches with the sequence of amino acids (proteins) you got? ________
Q4. Draw the possible appearance of the culprit INSIDE THE BOX.

(NAME OF THE SUSPECT)
PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
An intruder razed the science laboratory of a Junior High School. The school is in chaos. The school
administrators and teachers demanded to know the culprit. They have to identify the culprit and do it fast. They
had three suspects namely Rudy Tee, Von Go and Rambo Tan. As a forensic expert, your mission is to identify
the intruder using the profile of the suspects and other information taken from the laboratory:
THE PROFILE OF THE SUSPECTS
Rudy Tee Flunked physics class three times full lips

Von Go His investigative project is about the chinky eyes
potential applications of nuclear fusion in full lips

Rambo Tan Suspended for a week by the Disciplinary harelip
Committee for repeated tardiness. attached earlobe
short nose hair wavy hair
oval eyes
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Below are the specific amino acid sequence for specific trait.
1. Nose hair Short : phe – lys 2. Shape of Eyes oval : val – ala – ala
Long : leu – lys chinky : val – ala – val
3. Lips Full lips : phe – glu – ala 4. Ear attachment Free earlobe : thre- tyr – ser
Harelip : phe – lys – ala Attached : leu – arg – gly
5. Type of hair Straight : lys – glu
Wavy : phe – ala
Curly : glu – phe
THE DNA CODE OF THE SUSPECT
A fresh DNA sample was obtained from the laboratory; believe to have been left by the suspect. Using
the DNA sequencer the following nucleotide sequence was obtained:
SUSPECT: TAC-AAA-TTT-ATC-TAC-AAA-CTT-CGT-ATC-TAC-CAT-CGT-CAT-ATT-TAC-TGGATA-TCG-
ATC-TAC-CTT-AAA-ATC
Complementary base pairs: DNA is represented by nitrogen bases that are read in groups of threes. To
decode, use the DNA as a blueprint to produce mRNA. Then use the mRNA as blueprint to produce the linear
sequence of tRNA. A specific nitrogen base in the DNA pairs up with a specific nitrogen base in the mRNA,
and a specific nitrogen base in the mRNA pairs up with a specific nitrogen base in the Trna.
DNA triplet code mRNA tRNA Amino acid
TAC AUG UAG Met
Do this in the entire DNA code to identify the traits of the suspect.
