Unit 6: DNA

Due Date: 11/4/05 

Objectives: At the end of this unit you will be able to:

  1. Sequence the events of the cell cycle.
  2. Describe the stages of mitosis.
  3. Relate the function of a cell to its organization in tissues, organs, and organ systems.
  4. Describe the role of enzymes in the regulation of the cell cycle.
  5. Distinguish between the events of a normal cell cycle and the abnormal events that result in cancer.
  6. Identify ways to potentially reduce the risk of cancer.
  7. Analyze how meiosis maintains a constant number of chromosomes within a species.
  8. Infer how meiosis leads to variation in a species.
  9. Relate Mendel’s laws of heredity to the events of meiosis.
  10. Analyze the structure of DNA.
  11. Determine how the structure of DNA enables it to reproduce itself accurately.
  12. Relate the concept of the gene to the sequence of nucleotides in DNA.
  13. Sequence the steps involved in protein synthesis.
  14. Categorize the different kinds of mutations that can occur in DNA.
  15. Compare the effects of different kinds of mutations on cells and organisms.
