Unit 2.1 - DNA Structure and Replication

Unit Plan:

Why does the knowledge of DNA structure also help us understand how it replicates and act in heredity?

This unit explores in detail the structure and replication of DNA. This unit serves as the foundation for the units that follow. In order to understand the mechanisms of genetics, it is necessary first for the students to master the physical characteristics and processes that occur in copying the material of heredity. The final section of this unit will examine modern techniques for visualizing DNA and determining the sequence of the genetic code.
