What are the types of RNA and their purposes?) -​ Codon Chart (Be able to use one. No need to memorize the chart!) -​ Punnett Squares (Be able to create and analyze. What are the phenotypic and genotypic ratios?) -​ Replication, Transcription, Translation (What are they? Where do they take place? What is the purpose? What enzymes are involved? What is the relationship between them? Be able to describe and identify each.) -​ Inheritance Patterns (What are they? What do their genotypes look like? Be able to identify them based on examples) -​ Scientists (Who was involved? How?) Good luck with your studies! You’ve got this! 😊
