Dna replication: characteristics of a scientific theory and the importance of falsifiability. If we can"t test/falsify an idea, it isn"t considered scientific o intelligent design/creationism isn"t scientific: must have possibility of being falsified. Roles of proof, falsification, and falsifiability in determining whether a theory is scientific: we can test a theory by trying to prove them false. If you cannot falsify a theory after multiple trials then the theory can have more confidence so well as to be fact. o. Testing, falsifiability and refinement (revised to fit facts not twist facts to fit theory: non-nuclear genomes in typical plant and animal cells. Mitochondria and chloroplasts: stage of cell division, given a micrograph of a dividing cell, distribution of linear vs. circular chromosomes in the various domains of life. Circular chromosomes in mitochondria, chloroplasts of eukaryotes; bacteria; prokaryotes: role of cell cycle checkpoints. Prevent critical phase from beginning until previous phases are completed correctly.
