NUCLEIC ACIDS {DNA;RNA}

1. What are they? 2. Where are they found? 3. What are their functions? 4. What is a nucleotide? Draw one. (pages 219 and 220 lab manual) 5. What is a gene? 6. What is the Human Genome Project?

STRUCTURE and FUNCTION

1. Use model. Nucleotide; Chain of nucleotides; Alpha helix or double chain of

nucleotides. 2 Replication 3. Transcription. 4. Translation 5. Differences in DNA and RNA structure and function.

TRANSLATION (Protein Synthesis) 1. Use pages 3 and 4 of handout. 2. Use page 217 of lab manual. 3. Use genetic code chart. 4. Review process with overhead. 5. Review panels 1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12, 13, and 14 pages 219-223 of manual.
