DNA TO PROTEIN

• Understand the scientific process of discovery that lead to the structure and function of DNA

• Know what makes up a nucleotide & the base pairing rules of DNA

• Understand

• Understand how DNA makes more of itself (Replication), also how it can find mistakes and repair itself

• Understand reproductive cloning

• Understand the differences between DNA and RNA

• Understand how RNA is made from a DNA strand (Transcription

• Know the function of the three types of RNA

• Understand introns and exons and how one gene can actually produce many different proteins

• Understand the purpose of a Codon and Anticodon

• Understand the process of creating a chain of amino acids from RNA (Translation)

• Understand different mutations and how they can affect the code.

BIOTECHNOLOGY

• Understand the process of cloning DNA and creating plasmids

• Understand how Plasmids are used to transfer genes between organisms

• Understand how Antibiotic resistance can be passed from one cell to another

• Understand how restriction enzymes work and the importance of them to genetic engineering

• Understand how Gel Electrophoresis separates segments of DNA
