Summary of the issue(s), challenge(s), investigation(s) or problem(s)
The challenge is to present the CENTRAL DOGMA IN BIOLOGY in a comprehensible way by means of model(s) or flow chart(s) or other devices. This means resourcing and understanding TRANSCRIPTION (from DNA to mRNA), TRANSLATION and PROTEIN SYNTHESIS. The level of outcome will depend upon the HL or SL content of the IB syllabus. CAN THE CENTRAL DOGMA BE TURNED FROM A BELIEF INTO SOMETHING TANGIBLE I CAN HOLD IN MY HAND? Diploma IB Biology syllabus Units: 3.5 (SL & HL); 7.3 (HL); 7.4 (HL) Critical thinking Oral communication Research Use of technology Experimental planning and design Practical manipulative skills Problem solving Analysis of data Collaboration Transfer of information from one form to another Data collection
