Size Fragment Restriction Analysis Lab
Complete the log graph and answer the questions outlined in the lab.
Complete the Restriction Enzyme Lab flow chart for Tuesday, 5/16
Continue working on your Genetics projects by compiling information from books and the internet on your topic.
Chapter 12 Assignment
I would like you to create either
a. a children's storybook for children between ages 10 and 13
or
b. a cartoon book for children between ages 10 and 13
about how DNA replicates itself.
Directions:
1. You may work as a group of 2 or 4. Single authors are discouraged (this is a lot of work).
2. You may choose partner(s) other than your current group if you please.
3. You must include the following information in your cartoon series or storybook:
helicase
DNA polymerase
single-stranded binding proteins (SSBP's)
primase
DNA topoisomerases I and II
origin of replication
replication forks
leading strand
lagging strand
RNA primer
Okazaki fragments
5' to 3' direction
DNA ligase
telomere replication
semi-conservative replication
Also, include information on these scientists (favorable please)
Watson and Crick
Meselsohn and Stahl
4. Your final project should be
colorful
factual
fun to read as well as learn from
Project is due on Monday, 4/11/00 and is worth 100 pts.
Use your textbook, as well as the Internet Sites I have below in the Links section. Also use the MIT Biology Hypertextbook link, and log into LOGAL Express from your computer's desktop.
*****Please, no surfing in class - the sites I have selected are perfect to your needs.
Have fun!
