Class Discussion
Here's a copy of the SMARTboard slides used for the LESSON in class. Read them over, make some notes, use it to review... whatever you find helpful! |
|
REQUIRED VIDEO (Edmodo assignment)
1. Contrast a purine versus a pyrimidine based on structure. 2. Why is the sugar of DNA "deoxy"ribose? Be specific. 3. Explain base pairing, including type and number of bonds. 4. Every 3 nucleotides codes for a(n) 5. What are two advantages that DNA has over RNA? |
HANDS ON LEARNING ACTIVITY: Paper DNA replication
Cut out the two parent strands of DNA as long strips. Cut out the individual nucleotides, making sure to cut around the end of the nitrogenous base Cut out representatives for helicase (AKA scissors), DNA polymerase (AKA eyeball) and ligase (AKA glue) Use small sticky notes to make: 3' parent strand (x2), 5' parent strand (x2), 3' daughter strand (x2), 5' daughter strand (x2), leading strand, lagging strand. |
|
REQUIRED VIDEO (Edmodo assignment)
1. During what phase of the cell cycle does DNA replication occur? 2.. Contrast the 3 theories of DNA replication. Which was proven to be true? 3. What is the purpose of the "single strand binding proteins"? 4. Explain the role of RNA primers and DNA ligase. 5. How does the origin of replication of DNA differ between prokaryotes and eukaryotes? |
|
TOPIC SUPPORT
Good review of both sections 41 and 4.2 Watch this prior to the quiz or test! |
Use this worksheet to summarize your knowledge of DNA replication.
This will be marked as an individual assignment so make sure to use YOUR OWN WORDS (not the same as another student or the textbook) |
|
DNA Replication (4.2)
What are the names and roles of the 3 main enzymes of DNA replication? Be able to put the steps of replication in order. Know the terms: leading strand, lagging strand, Okazaki fragments, semi-conservative, etc |
PROJECT
DNA Replication Stop Motion Animation Use candy to create a short film to demonstrate your understanding of DNA replication.. Submit your video to me on Edmodo or through email when it is completed. |
|
REQUIRED VIDEO (Edmodo assignment)
1. What is the "promoter"? Why is it important? 2. Where does the RNA polymerase in your cells come from? 3. Give 3 things that are done to the mRNA prior to allowing it to leave the nucleus. 4. Codons are triplet codes found on the and anticodons are found on the . Explain the role of codons and anticodons in translation. 5. Review the 4 levels of protein structure. |
|
TOPIC SUPPORT
How are cells create proteins is quite the complex process so if you need to hear it explained again, here's another video to help out! Here's a couple INTERACTIVE websites to further develop your understanding: 1. From DNA to Proteins 2. Drag-and-Drop Protein Synthesis |
Use this worksheet to summarize your knowledge of protein synthesis.
This will be marked as an individual assignment so make sure to use YOUR OWN WORDS (not the same as another student or the textbook) |
Hands-On Practice
Work with a partner to work through the steps of protein synthesis. - Cut out the randomized strips from the handout and put them in order. - Check the answer key to see how well you've done. |
