SBI4U: Molecular Genetics DNA Replication

Enduring Understanding: Achievement Chart: (success criteria)

DNA replication is semi-conservative
DNA replication involves a sequence of steps, Thinking:
each mediated by different enzymes

Overall Expectations: Application:

D2 investigate, through laboratory activities,
the structures of cell components and their
roles in processes that occur within the cell
D3 demonstrate an understanding of concepts
related to molecular genetics, and how genetic
modification is applied in industry and
agriculture
Able to effective complete the game
Okazakis Revenge with a score of at least
500
Communication:
Use appropriate terminology related to
DNA replication

Specific Expectations: Knowledge:

D2.1 use appropriate terminology related to
molecular genetics
D3.1 explain the current model of DNA
replication, and describe the different repair
mechanisms that can correct mistakes in DNA
sequencing
Understand the duties of the various
enzymes associated with DNA replication
Recognize that there are consequences to
a cell being unable to complete/complete
accurately DNA replication
