DNA

You have learned about DNA in grade 11 - today will be a quick review, starting with a Crash Course Video on DNA structure and replication!



We will be adding DNA transcription and translation (protein synthesis).

Cell Organelle Ornament

It's the last week before holidays and it's time to get festive:)

You will be making a christmas tree ornament in a petri dish & clay - a eukaryotic animal cell.

Include the following organelles in your ornament:

cytoplasm
nucleus
nucleolus
nuclear membrane / envelope
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
rough endoplasmic reticulum
mitochondria
free floating ribosomes
golgi apparatus
vesicles
lysosome
cell membrane

While you don't have to label your actual ornament (that would be really difficult, since it is so small), you do need to know what each of the organelles are - come and show me each organelle when you are done.
