- Warm-up: If a cell suddenly was in need of a particular protein, like amylase (an enzyme used to break down starch into simpler sugars) for example, how would the molecular machinery of the cell know what the correct sequence was for the string of amino acids that forms amylase so that it could build this polypeptide?
- Finish and turn in DNA replication activity [30]
- DNA structure/wrapping/replication quiz (POSTPONED UNTIL NEXT CLASS PERIOD) [30]

Structures of the DNA Molecule and of Chromosomes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HONORS BIOLOGY / BIOLOGY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DNA is a large molecule and ranges in size from just a few nucleotides (usually paired with a complimentary strand in a double helical form) in length to a chain (polymer) of tens of millions of nucleotides. Notice in the image below that the two complimentary strands run in opposite directions, an orientation called anti-parallel. Click on the image below to see a larger version.
The multi-level structure of a chromosome is shown in the image below--click on it to see a larger version. Remember, DNA in most eukaryotic cells only adopts this super compact chromosome form when the cell is going through mitosis--the rest of the time (interphase), the DNA is less tightly wound and packed.
