Today we had our first lecture, and we covered most of chapter 3, on the structure and basic function of DNA, RNA, and proteins.
We covered the basic structure of nucleic acids and some of the main differences between DNA and RNA. We also mentioned a few key characteristics of the structure of chromosomes.
Next week we'll finish chapter 3 and start chapter 4, on genes, genomes and DNA ("how DNA is organized in organisms" according to the road map [see Power Point presentation from first meeting]).
Reminders:
- Two quizzes next week
- Topics of choice for review paper in two weeks
