DNA Replication

Today (A block) and tomorrow ( C and D blocks) we will be learning about DNA replication and transcription. We first heard about DNA replication when we learned about the cell cycle (Chapter 8). Recall that DNA is replicated during the S phase of the cell cycle. But how does it actually happen?Transcription
In order to make proteins, DNA must first be transcribed into a strand of messenger DNA. This mRNA can leave the nucleus and head for a ribosome.

Homework:
A & D block: Complete the DNA Replication WebQuest which has been emailed to you. This is due in class on Monday. You also have your prelab to complete due on Saturday.

C block: Complete the DNA Replication WebQuest which has been emailed to you. This is due in class on Monday.

Reminder: You will have a quiz on Monday in class on Sections 10.1-10.7. You will NOT be allowed to use any notes and the quiz will not take the whole period, so please make sure you bring the packet.
