Journal Entry:
What is the human genome project? What is it's purpose? Who worked on the project?
Learning Intentions
We will learn how prokaryotic DNA differs from eukaryotic DNA and therefore, how DNA replication might be different in each type of cell.
We will analyze what happens when there are errors in DNA replication and these errors can be negative leading to diseases or death and positive leading to genetic variation.
Closing Task:
You can describe problems with replication and how and where they are fixed.
You can formulate questions and comments about Cracking the Code Video
