There will be a quiz on Tuesday. You should know:
- the parts of a nucleotide
- use the template of one DNA strand to produce the complementary DNA strand.
- transcribe DNA to mRNA.
- with a copy of the genetic code, translate the mRNA to a protein.
- describe which events occur in the nucleus and which events occur at the ribosomes.
- describe the role of tRNA in protein synthesis.
After the quiz we wil discuss gene mutations and then look into DNA technology, including recombinant DNA (gene splicing) and some methods used to compare DNA between two individuals. Like all those CSI shows? Stay tuned.
Chemistry
On Monday I'm going to go over the homework. Look for a quiz on covalent bonding and polarity on Tuesday.
We will be talking more about intermolecular forces of attraction and why they are significant. As soon as we do this we will prepare for a test on chemical bonding coming this Friday.
Physics
We are almost finished with work, energy and power. Look for a quiz on Tuesday and a test Thursday or Friday. From that point we start in on electricity and magnetism.
