Nucleic Acids
Knowledge - Level 1
know the terminology:
nucleic acid, DNA, RNA, m-RNA, t-RNA, r-RNA, nucleoside, nucleotide,
base-pairing,
ribosomes, replication, transcription, translation, codon,
anticodon
know the specific complementary base pairs:
A - T and G - C in DNA
A - U and G - C in RNA
know the structures of the 5 nucleic acid bases and their nucleosides
and nucleotides
Concepts - Level 2
recognize the structural components of nucleotides and nucleic acids,
including directionality (5' and 3' ends)
recognize the specificity of base pairing, leading to the double helix
understand the process of DNA replication
understand the process of RNA transcription of DNA information
understand the process of RNA translation of information into peptide
synthesis
Applications - Level 3
use the codon tables to identify amino acid codons and anticodons
Analytical Skills - Level 4
follow the processes of replication, transcription, and translation,
identifying and correlating base pairs with the resultant amino acid
