1. To understand the structure of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) we need to know and understand how the bases in DNA are composed. Please state Chargaffâs rules (there are two).
2. Explain why replication of the DNA is termed semiconservative.
3. Explain what transcription is and what translation is. Describe the three major steps in DNA replication.
1. Describe the three major classes of RNA (ribonucleic acid); what is the function of each class?
2. Describe the location of ribosomes and what their function is.
1. Discuss (to the best of your knowledge and understanding) what is a GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein) and how researchers might use a GFP-labeled protein to study cancer?
2. How would you test a hypothesis that a genetic condition, like cancer, is due to an error (or mistake) in transcription and translation?
