​ Describe the structure of DNA. ​ Explain how DNA and histone proteins are organized to form the chromosomes. ​ Discuss the three specific parts of a DNA nucleotide. ​ List the purine nitrogenous bases and the pyrimidine nitrogenous bases and describe which purine base will make hydrogen bonds with which pyrimidine base. ​ Define the terms chromatin, chromosomes, and sister chromatids. ​ Discuss the fours differences between DNA and RNA. ​ State the current definition of a gene. ​ Describe how DNA codes for protein structure. ​ Describe the assembly of amino acids into a protein. ​ Discuss the roles of messenger RNA, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA. ​ Describe where triplets, codons, and anticodons are found and be able to correctly give the codon and anticodon if given a triplet code. ​ Explain the processes of transcription and translation. ​ Explain what happens to a protein after its amino acid sequence has been synthesized. ​ Describe the process of DNA replication. ​ Discuss the three phases of interphase and what occurs in each phase. ​ Distinguish between the process of mitosis and cytokinesis. ​ Describe the four phases of mitosis and be able to explain what occurs in each of the phases. ​ Discuss factors that would inhibit or promote cell division.
