The Structure of DNA

Because it is heavily focused on the contributors to DNA theory, this worksheet may be more of an enrichment than a fundamental support to your genetics curriculum. Though it does query learners about DNA structure, replication, and...

Have you ever wanted to know the true structure of E.coli? Does the thought of peering into its "small world" sound exciting? Here is a lesson that allows pupils the ability to do just that. Blossoming microbiologists use...

Five questions about the work of biochemist, Oswald Avery, are presented on this worksheet. You will need to find a reading passage, perhaps on the Internet, about his discovery, but it would be a worthwhile search. The assignment brings...

Compare and contrast eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and viruses with a chart and a Venn diagram. Beginning microbiologists consider motility, reproductive ability, DNA content, and the presence of organelles. They write short answers to...

Advanced biology masters take a close look at DNA and the scientists who contributed to our understanding of this complex and powerful molecule. They answer 21 questions about DNA structure, replication, and repair. This can be used as a...

View attractive, three-dimensional models of an animal cell, a bacterium, or a plant cell. Suspended in a translucent, undulating cytoplasm, are all of the major organelles for life science learners to examine. They can zoom in, click on...

Your body contains more than 10 times the number of bacterial cells than human cells. Show your class an informative Fuse School video that outlines the structure of bacteria. The engaging resource also discusses the harmful bacteria in...

Does a protein or DNA store genetic instructions for life? Follow the research from the 1920's experiments on mice through the 1940's experiments on bacteria to learn the answer to the difficult question. Scholars use an online...

Learn about the transfer of plasmid DNA into bacteria. Also find out how bacteria are selected, and how proteins are produced and purified.

Instructional module focusing on the discovery that DNA is the genetic material on which life is built. Discussion includes the key evidence that bacteria could be transformed by adding DNA from other bacteria. Site also includes an...
