Essential Question
How does the information in DNA determine the essential functions of life?
|
DNA must be copied. This process has many steps. Last week we looked at the big picture of the CELL CYCLE - now we are focusing in on DNA replication and the production of proteins. RNA is a new member in the equation. All of our proteins are coded for in our DNA - that gets copied into RNA - that travels out of the nucleus to ribosomes - to be read and translated to build proteins! WHEW - so many process and vocab words! Make sure you STUDY this week!
