p. 251: #1 (concept map)
p. 252: #2-#7 (multiple choice)
There is no essay on the test on Friday. However...I want you to answer questions #12 and #13 under 'applying the concepts' on p. 252. We had a short discussion about transgenic organisms today (think 'genetically modified food'). We will look at gene therapy tomorrow, so read page 241 tonight. I want you to answer these two questions in paragraph form, making sure to answer each portion of the question. (Number 12 has several sub-questions.) I will take these Friday before the exam and count them as the essay portion of your test, so you can write over the next two days, ask me questions, and revise your work before you turn it in.
We will do a short activity on DNA fingerprinting and gel electrophoresis tomorrow and write a summary of the process.
In chapter 10 (which now seems LONG ago and far away), be sure you understand the DNA discovery experiments (Griffith, Avery, Hershey/Chase). Also--DNA structure and replication. There are several enzymes involved in replication. A good way to keep them straight: 1) cut notecards in half. 2) write the name of the enzyme on one card, its function on the other. 3) mix them up and see if you can match them. (This is actually a good way to learn all kinds of information.)
I will be around until standard time--10:30ish.
