CONCEPT QUESTIONS
-
1. What occurs at each phase of mitosis?
-
2. What is the difference in the two meiotic divisions?
-
3. What is a nucleotide and how does it relate to DNA?
-
4. What is a double helical model of DNA?
Laboratory:
Students should work with the double helical structured model of DNA.
Secondly, students should utilize models to increase the understanding that PHAGES or bacterial viruses invade bacteria and hijack the DNA of the host.
The instructor should explain the advantages of utilizing the E. coli bacteria because this particular organism has been used for most of the backup laboratory investigations.
The use of simple plasmids or bacterial vectors are utilized as carriers of the DNA molecules into the hosts.
