 DNA Structure and Function Amoeba Sisters Video Guided Notes Cloning​
​
Example To clone an iguana you would need a reptile egg cell. You would take the DNA out of the nucleus of this reptile egg cell. Providing you with an empty egg which could then be used to place your iguana DNA in. Now the NEW egg cell would need to be placed into a reptile to help develop the egg before being hatched. After hatching you would get a baby iguana that is an identical DNA match to the original iguana you are cloned BUT the iguana may be a bit different do to different environmental factors it was exposed to in development. Why DNA is really important DNA is really the most important molecule for___________. It controls all of your ​

describes the twisted ladder look of DNA REVIEW: 1. Why is DNA important? 2. Where is DNA found (within the cell and in our bodies)? 3. What is gene regulation mean? Give an example from the video. 4. What type of biomolecule (organic molecule) does DNA belong to? 5. What THREE parts make up a nucleotide? 6. Which part of the nucleotide codes for out traits? 7. What are the base matches? (Think about they saying that the Amoeba Sisters provided) Right ­ p. 4
