• construct appropriate representations to model and compare the forms in which DNA exists in eukaryotes and prokaryotes 

So, what is the dot point asking??

• The verb that they have used is a CONSTRUCT. This means that the HSC examiners may ask you a question where they have you draw the DNA which exists in a eukaryote or prokaryote. 

• The next verb they use is a COMPARE. This verb asks you to consider the similarities and differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA. There are a few ways they could ask this. They could get you to draw or fill in a table OR they could get you to construct a writtten response.

ACTIVITIES:

1. Watch the videos left of this text box which reviews DNA in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes.

2. Read and/or complete the questions on pages 158 -164 from the Yr 12 Pearson Biology Textbook.

3. Answer the question below on the two different diagrams of Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes.

4. Answer the HSC exam question below on Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes

5. Refer to the Additional links below for extra resources on this dot point:

Additional Resources:

• This is quite a good resource - it takes you through content and then asks you questions along the way
