Genetics

Genes are a set of instructions encoded in the DNA sequence of each organism
that specify the sequence of amino acids in proteins characteristic of that
organism. As a basis for understanding this concept:
a.
Students know the general pathway by which ribosomes synthesize
proteins, using tRNAs to translate genetic information in mRNA.
b.
Students know how to apply the genetic coding rules to predict the
sequence of amino acids from a sequence of codons in RNA.
c.
Students know how mutations in the DNA sequence of a gene may or
may not affect the expression of the gene or the sequence of amino
acids in an encoded protein.
Analyze the structure o DNA
Determine how the structure of DNA enables it to reproduce.
Relate the concept of the gene to the sequences of nucleotides in DNA
Sequence the steps involving protein synthesis
Categorize the different kinds of mutations that can occur in DNA
Compare the effects of different kinds of mutations on cells and organisms.
The genetic composition of cells can be altered by incorporation of exogenous
DNA into the cells. As a basis for understanding this concept:
a.
Students know the general structures and functions of DNA, RNA, and
protein.
b.
Students know how to apply base-pairing rules to explain precise
copying of DNA during semi conservative replication and transcription
of information from DNA into mRNA.
