Overall Expectations
D2. Investigate through laboratory activities, the structures of cell components and their roles in processes that occur within the cell
D3. Demonstrate an understanding of concepts related to molecular genetics, and how genetic modification is applied in industry and agriculture
Specific Expectations
D2.1 use appropriate terminology related to molecular genetics, including, but not limited to: polymerase I, II, and III, DNA ligase, helicase, Okazaki fragments, mRNA, rRNA, tRNA, codon, anticodon, translation, transcription, and ribosome subunits
D2.2 analyze a simulated strand of DNA to determine the genetic code and base pairing of DNA (e.g., determine base sequences of DNA for a protein; analyze base sequences in DNA to recognize and anomaly
D2.4 investigate and analyze the cell components involved in the processes of protein synthesis, using appropriate laboratory equipment and techniques, or a computer simulation
D3.2 compare the structures and functions of RNA and DNA, and explain their roles in the process of protein synthesis
D3.3 explain the steps involved in the process of protein synthesis and how genetic expression is controlled in prokaryotes and eukaryotes by regulatory proteins (e.g., the role of operons in prokaryotic cells; the mechanism of gene expression in eukaryotic cells)
