Introduction to DNA and RNA Slides

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1IyWlK3s640A3YKDDwVZoUqE69nrB9OoPbE0vP8VFSIA/edit?usp=sharing

In this set of slides we look at what DNA is, what DNA is made of and the function of DNA. We also explore the structural and functional aspects of RNA and then compare and contrast DNA and RNA.

What you should know after reviewing these slides:

1. You should be able to describe the structure of DNA and know the components that make up DNA.

2. You should be able to define what a NUCLEOTIDE is and know the components that make up a nucleotide.

3. You should know the difference between PURINES and PYRIMIDINES and know which NITROGEN BASES are purines and which are Pyrimidines.

4. You should know which bases pair together and be able to write out a complimentary strand of DNA from a given template strand.

5. You should know the FUNCTION of DNA (what does it do?).

6. You should be able to define RNA and know how it differs from DNA.

RNA Structure and Function (General) Slides

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Kqm90Hb-K1-XOarsNCfInJMOLmm9S1jV9PEeDp6RhlU/edit?usp=sharing In this lesson we explored the structure of RNA and some of the functions of RNA. We also broke down all of the ways that that RNA is different from DNA. What you need to know: 1. You need tp be able to describe the structure of RNA 2. You need to know all three types of RNA 3. You need to know how RNA is different from DNA

Translation Slides and Blank Notes

Slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1IFKC08ST9xGY0wV85dpxCus4k0oHuP-0sqRRiob2DOg/edit?usp=sharing In this class we did a brief review of transcription, and there is a great animated video that gives a great visual of the process of transcription, from 1:32-2:47. We then tackled Translation! You need to know what happens and be able to describe what is happening at each of the three steps of translation. This is especially important for the elongation step because this is the step where the amino acid chain, which will eventually become a protein, is being built. Notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HiDASpWR9z__AEmE19MVyRvoaQkocrI_Ylz89uiUF20/edit?usp=sharing I introduced a note page in this class, to help focus your notes and provide you with incite into exactly what information you are responsible for knowing from the class.
