Bellwork: 1/07/2014 1. What is the central dogma of biology? 2. Where does each step take place? 3. During which step do replication/translation/transcription occur? Today: 1/07/2014 • We will briefly discuss the activity of restriction enzymes. • You will each have a gel for tomorrow’s lab • You will begin to write your background for our DNA comparison lab.

EcoRI) – How many restriction sites for a particular enzyme – Where the restriction sites are located
