Learning about the Benetic Code via Programming: Representing the Process of Translation.

Ploger, Don

Journal of Mathematical Behavior, v10 n1 p55-77 Apr 1991

This study examined the representations that a 16-year-old student made using the flexible computer system, "Boxer," in learning the genetic code. Results indicated that programing made it easier to build and explore flexible and useful representations and encouraged interdisciplinary collaboration between mathematics and biology educators.
