DNA Structure and Function (Summary Notes) US edition

Item description

DNA Structure and Function (Summary Notes) consists of a comprehensive set of Information Handouts written in clear, simple language that will help your students gain a better understanding of the double helical structure of the DNA molecule, the complex processes involved in protein synthesis and the ‘semi-conservative’ process of DNA replication. Useful as both a student AND teacher reference, it includes lots of clear and easy-to-follow diagrams as well as a list of suggested flash card questions students can use for study purposes.

DNA Structure and Function (Summary Notes) covers the following topics:

• monomers of DNA: nucleotides

• parts of a nucleotide: phosphate, sugar, nitrogen-containing base

• double-helical structure of DNA

• features of the DNA molecule, including types of bonds present, packaging, nucleosomes

• comparing DNA and RNA

• the three types of RNA: mRNA, tRNA and rRNA

• protein synthesis: transcription, post-transcription modification and translation

• the genetic code

• the semi-conservative process of DNA replication

• DNA replication: leading and lagging strands

DNA Structure and Function (Summary Notes) contains a black-and-white version of the handouts which can be printed for students, as well as a full color display version that looks great on the big screen and can be used to facilitate good class discussion.

I hope you and your students find this product useful and that you enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed creating it!
