I think A bees mutation is a positive mutation because the extra antennae make the bee more sensitive. Meaning that it can feel more things. 

I think B bees mutation is negative because it doesn’t have any wings. Given the fact that bees need to fly to live, I drew the conclusion that it’s a negative mutation.

I think C bees mutation is neutral because a bee dies once it stings someone. So the size of the stinger doesn’t matter. It’ll die any ways.

I think this activity was OK it demonstrated how mutations work, but it wasn’t really clear. It was fun though .

DNA leads to protein like this: DNA is in the nucleus, inside the nucleus it is copied by mRNA. The mRNA seeps out through the pores of the nuclear membrane. Then the mRNA is grabbed by a Ribosome, the Ribosome reads the codons of the RNA. Codons are made up of three letters; each codon can consist on A, C, T, and/or G. Each codon (triplet) is an instruction for amino acids. When codons are read a specific amino acid is added to each of the letters. Amino Acids then make proteins.

This activity models codons and amino acids by giving us a visual representation of how they are ready by the ribosomes and how each letter co-relates with each other.

I think this activity is helpful because if you don’t understand how proteins and amino acids work you can use this as a visual guode. Furthermore, this activity is fairly easy to do and is fun. Which helps you remember the steps better. Plus, froot-loops are pretty delicious.
