Unit Overview: DNA Replication and Protein Synthesis Date:_____________________

Learning Goal: How does the genetic code work? Block:____

Concept 1: Analyzing the events of the cell cycle (Ch 12)

You must know:

o The structure of the replicated chromosome.

o The stages of mitosis

o The regulation of the cell cycle with “checkpoints”

❖ Refer to pg 60-64 in Holtzclaw, Ch12 in Campbell and media resources

Concept 2: Analyzing the processes of DNA Replication (Ch 16)

You must know:

o The structure of DNA.

o The major steps to replication.

o The differences between replication, transcription, and translation.

o How DNA is packaged into a chromosomes.

❖ Refer to pg 117-122 in Holtzclaw, Ch 16 in Campbell and media resources

Concept 3: Analyzing the structures of a cell (Ch 6)

You must know:

o The differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

o The structure and function of organelles common to plant and animal cells.

o The structure and functions of organelles found only in plant or only in animal cells.

❖ Refer to pg 43-48 in Holtzclaw, Ch 6 in Campbell and media resources

Concept 4: Analyzing the processes of Protein Synthesis (Ch 17)

You must know:

o The key terms gene expression, transcription, and translation

o How to explain the process of transcription

o How eukaryotic cells modify RNA after transcription

o The steps to translation

o How point mutations can change the amino acid sequence of a protein.

❖ Refer to pg 122-128 in Holtzclaw, Ch 17 in Campbell and media resources
