Now Until Spring Break!

• Tues 3/5:  Structure of DNA and RNA.  Discovery of the double helix.  Work on 2.6 and 7.1 questions, to be checked off on Thursday.  Read 2.6 and 7.1 if not already.  
• Thurs 3/7:  Check off questions and go over.  Process of DNA replication.  Do simulation in groups and get it checked off.  Start Transcription.  Read 2.7.
• Mon 3/11:  Science Testing for Juniors.
• Wed 3/13:  Transcription to Translation.  The genetic code.  Read 7.2. and 7.3.
• Fri 3/15:  Review the whole process of translation.  Short video on Epigenetics.
• Tues 3/19:  Review of DNA Replication, Transcription, and Translation.
• Thur 3/21:  Replication, Transcription, and Translation Test.  Start Reading 2.5 on Enzymes and work on Enzyme Worksheet, which is due after break on Wed 4/3.

2.6 and 7.1 Work for After the Test on 3/1/19

When you finish the test on Friday (and/or for homework), please do the following questions in your notebook about material in Sections 2.6 and 7.1.  I will check them off on Thurs 3/7, but get them started now!

1. (Starting in 2.6) What are the 3 parts of a nucleotide?
2. Describe 3 differences between DNA and RNA.
3. Do the DBQ on Chargaff's rules on p. 107.
4. Draw and label a simplified diagram of DNA.
5. Outline the structure of DNA
6. (Moving to 7.1)  What were Hershey and Chase trying to determine in their experiment?
7. Outline the Hershey-Chase experiment, including the results.
8. Who was Rosalind Franklin and how did her work influence the discovery of DNA structure?
9. What  is the semi-conservative model of DNA replication?
10. What is a nucleosome and what is its role in DNA packing?
11. Do the DBQ on p. 349 (this one is tricky, but I will give some background on it in class)
