What is the mechanism of DNA replication and how does it relate to its structure?
What is the mechanism of transcription?
What is the mechanism of translation?
How is it that genetic disorders are a consequence of protein synthesis aberations?
1. General structure of DNA and RNA
2. DNA replication (mechanics and evolutionary significance)
3. Transcription: process, RNA types and functions
4. Translation: process, requirements, resulting protein
5. Protein Structure: primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary
6. DNA Technology: Karyotyping, PCR, RFLP, Restriction Enzymes, Gel Electrophoresis, Recombination, Transgenetic organisms
7. Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications of genetic technologies
Students in Biology will develop the ability to:
1. Differentiate between DNA and RNA,
2. Relate DNA structure to DNA replication,
3. Relate the DNA nucleotide sequence to the amino acid sequence of the protein product (codon),
4. Describe and discuss Transcription and Translation,
5. Laboratory activity - i.e., DNA extraction,
6. Discussion/debate regarding the ethical, legal, and social implications of genetic engineering technology.
1. DNA extraction
Objective/Subjective testing (40:60 percent)
Laboratory experiences - i.e. DNA extraction
Cooperative Activities
