10/28 Biology update and homework due 11/4

Hi folks,

Today we went into great detail learning how we get proteins from RNA and how we get RNA from DNA.  In other words, protein synthesis.

Homework for this week is to:

Be sure to take all the definitions we started class with today and put them into your flash cards.  They will all be on upcoming quizzes in one form or another.  Memorize how the DNA & RNA bases pair as well.

Here's the list of terms from today's lecture. 

Protein Synthesis

Transcription

Translation

DNA

RNA

mRNA

tRNA

Codon

RNA Polymerase

Ribosome

rRNA

Adenine pairs with Thymine.  Guanine pairs with Cytosine.

In RNA Thymine is replace with Uracil.

Also:

Read pgs. 193-210

Do Chapter Review Questions on page 212 #'s 1 - 3, 9 - 14, 18 - 22  (Sorry for jumping around on this but I'm trying to skip some of the more "out in left field" questions.  I'm sure you won't mind.  :)  )

Do Standard Test Prep questions on page 213 #'s 1-8

Study the steps in transcription and translation that I put on the board today  They will be tested.  You have been warned!
