Standard(s):
SC.912.L.16.3 Describe the basic process of DNA replication and how it relates to transmission and conservation of the genetic information.
SC.912.L.16.4 Explain how mutations in DNA sequences may or may not result in phenotypic change. Explain how mutations in gametes may result in phenotypic changes in offspring.
SC.912.L.16.5 Explain the basic processes of transcription and translation, and how they result in the expression of genes.
SC.912.L.16.9 Explain how and why the genetic code is universal and is common to almost all organisms.
Objective(s):
Students will be able to explain how genetic information is replicated and passed on using the rules of base pairing.
