1. What combines with sugar and a phosphate group to form a
nucleotide? (EOC)
A. amino acid
B. deoxyribose
C. glycerol
D. nitrogenous base
2. Despite the diversity of nature, most organisms contain the
same 4 DNA bases. This table shows the DNA composition of 3
organisms as reported in a classic 1950s experiment.
Base Composition (percent)

Based on this study, what did scientists conclude about the DNA
composition of all organisms? (EOC)
A. A, G, T, and C occur in equal percentages.
B. A and G occur in equal percentages, and T and C occur in
equal percentages.
C. A and T occur in equal percentages, and G and C occur in
equal percentages.
D. A and C occur in equal percentages, and T and G occur in
equal percentages.
DLTs:
1. I can apply knowledge gained from the heredity unit to
complete a major project relating to recombinant DNA, cloning,
or stem cell research, and create a class rubric in order to assess
myself. (C.1.n)
2. I can infer the processes of replication, transcription, and
translation in order to assess my knowledge of these processes
through a DNA Replication review worksheet and Protein
Synthesis pre-test. (C.1.a)
Today:
1. Create class rubric for Heredity Unit Tic-Tac-Toe Menu
2. DNA Replication review worksheet

1. I can infer the processes of replication, transcription, and
translation in order to build a protein. (C.1.a)
2. I can use mRNA codon charts to determine amino acid
sequences of example polypeptides by building a protein during a
class activity and correctly answer questions pertaining to this
activity. (C.1.c)
3. I can use mRNA codon charts to determine the effects of
mutations on protein structure by building a protein during a class
activity and correctly answer questions pertaining to this activity.
