6.2 -Molecular Biology of the Gene

Preview: 

Answer the following questions (IN COMPLETE SENTENCES!), in your unit guide. DUE 1/28 ALL QUESTIONS ARE REVIEW FROM EARLIER IN THE YEAR 

1) What are nucleic acids (what do they form), and what are their building blocks (monomers)?

2) What are THREE differences between DNA and RNA? 

3) What are enzymes? What are the enzymes involved in DNA replication? Decide whether each enzyme is catabolic or anabolic (you may have to define catabolic and anabolic): 

4) List ALL organelles that are important in DNA, or protein activities in the cell and give their function (hint: you must list at least 3)
