DNA & Mitosis: Molecular Genetics Guided Notes
DNA & Mitosis: Molecular Genetics Study Guide
DNA Structure
Standard 3.1.1: Explain the double-stranded, complementary nature of DNA as related to its function in the cell.
Think about it: What type of macromolecule is DNA?
|
DNA Replication Standard 3.1.1: Explain the double-stranded, complementary nature of DNA as related to its function in the cell. Think about it: Once DNA unzips and unwinds, leaving the nitrogen bases exposed, what rule is used to create new DNA? In other words, how does the DNA know how to rebuild each new strand? (Hint: base pairing) |
|
Mitosis Standard 1.2.2: Analyze how cells grow and reproduce in terms of interphase, mitosis and cytokinesis Think about it: What types of cells undergo mitosis? What is the result of mitosis? |
RNA
Standard 3.1.2: Explain how DNA and RNA code for proteins and determine traits.
Think about it: How does RNA Structure differ from DNA structure?
Protein Synthesis: Transcription
Standard 3.1.2: Explain how DNA and RNA code for proteins and determine traits.
Think about it: Why does DNA have to be transcribed to RNA in order for the message to be delivered to the ribosome?
Protein Synthesis: Translation
Standard 3.1.2: Explain how DNA and RNA code for proteins and determine traits.
Think about it: Be sure you can draw and explain the steps of protein synthesis, from transcription to translation!
Standard 3.1.2: Explain how DNA and RNA code for proteins and determine traits.
Think about it: Be sure you can draw and explain the steps of protein synthesis, from transcription to translation!
Protein Synthesis: Overall Review Standard 3.1.2: Explain how DNA and RNA code for proteins and determine traits. Think about it: Be sure you can draw and explain the steps of protein synthesis, from transcription to translation! |

Mutations
Standard 3.1.3: Explain how mutations in DNA that result from interactions with the environment (i.e. radiation and chemicals) or new combinations in existing genes lead to changes in function and phenotype.
Think about it: Do all mutations result in an error? Why or why not?
