Molecular Genetics: Replication Lecture Materials
These
are the DNA Replication Lecture materials of the Virtual Cell
Biology Classroom. The resources below are used to supplement an actual
college cell biology course. Anyone taking, teaching or interested in
biology may find these materials helpful and is welcome to use them.
The DNA Replication Lecture materials include:
- a list of learning objectives
- links to additional educational resources
DNA REPLICATION LECTURE LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- What is DNA made of? Know the structural components.
- Understand the process of replication. (Don’t let the brief sentence fool you; this is a lot of complex info. Make sure you understand it to the level that was presented to you in the lecture PPTs).
- Explain how the DNA molecule is antiparallell.
- How does the antiparallell nature of DNA affect replication?
- What is a replication bubble?
- What is the difference between the lagging and the leading strand of DNA?
All of the lecture PowerPoints used in the Virtual Cell Biology Classroom have fill-in-the-blanks on many of the slides to encourage students to pay attention and follow along during the presentation. Instructors, contact us for the information that goes in the blanks.
HELPFUL TIPS: Some of the PowerPoint presentations are large files and may take a few moments to download, depending on the speed of your internet connection. If you are printing a hard copy of the PowerPoint, you can save paper by selecting Handouts (rather than Slides) in the "Print What:" drop down menu of the PPT print screen. Then you can choose the number of slides you want to have on each printed page. If the printed PPT presentation is to be used as student notes, it is best to choose handouts with 2 or 3 slides per page.
Word document of a single essay question given to students at the end of lecture. This tool helps the students review the main messages of the lecture while allowing the instructor to assess the class' understanding of the material.
DNA REPLICATION CLASS NOTES
Here are brief summaries of some of the various subtopics and concepts introduced in this lecture, kind of like really good class notes.
Questions designed to help you review the material in the Molecular Genetics: Replication Lecture.
