About the test on Wednesday March 21

The Replication, Transcription, Translation Test on Wed, March 21 will have the following:
1)  12-16 Multiple Choice Questions
2)  Some questions using the genetic code:  writing code, translating code, and the consequences of a change (mutation) to the sequence
3)  Describe the process of replication using important vocabulary (leading strand, lagging strand, the 5 enzymes, Okazaki fragments, etc.
4)  Describe the process of translation using important vocabulary and including the 3 main steps.
5)  Describe the structure of nucleosomes and their role in control of gene expression.  Include the difference between methylation and acetylation and also include the implications of epigenetics.
