Abstract
Description
This unit will introduce some classic experiments in Molecular Biology, which led to the discovery of DNA as the hereditary material, the structure of DNA, and the semi-conservative model of DNA replication. We will cover DNA replication, and how the cell uses its DNA instructions to make an RNA message, and an RNA message to make a protein. Some variations to the standard mechanisms of DNA replication, transcription and translation will also be discussed. Finally, we will cover some of the general principles of gene regulation.
