Review "Games"
Below is a system like Kahoot but you can do it at home. I have turned off the timer so you can take as long as you need to read the questions. At the end you should see the answer and you should be able to do these review questions as much as you want.

Please use appropriate names, I can see them. If you do it a second time you may have to change your name. Just change it by putting a number behind it. Like Meg 1 or Meg 2 or Meg 3.

Protein Synthesis: Mutations

Video #1: Gives two examples (insertion and deletion) and how they play a role on the amino acids created (about 5 minutes)

Video #2:  This goes through an example of how mutations affect an organism, is longer (7.5 minutes)

Protein Synthesis - Overview

Video #1: This goes over the entire process (about 5 minutes)

Video #2: This is the one I started showing you in class (about 2.5 minutes)

Video #3:  This is a great video that discusses an example of how your DNA gives rise to a physical characteristic (like how we talked about lactate enzyme) as well as talking about the entire process. It is longer but is a good watch if you have time. (about 7 minutes)

Protein Synthesis - Part 2 - Translation

Class Notes

Video #1: Video From class

Video #2: Shows the process of Translation

Video #3 ~ 2.5 minutes

Protein Synthesis - Part 1 - Transcription

Class Notes

Video #1: RNA Structure (little less than 4 minutes)

Video #2: Differences between DNA and RNA (4.5 minutes)

Video #3: Problem with this video: RNA Polymerase  encases the entire replication fork

Video #4: Gives your more proteins than what we covered or need to know

DNA Replication

Class Notes

Video #1:  DNA Replication video from class (about 1.5 minutes)

Video #2: VERY VERY basic idea with no terms

Video #3: Model of DNA replication made by another student

DNA Structure

Class Notes

DNA Song ~ 4.5 minutes

DNA Structure ~ little over 4 minutes
