Content summary
editIndependent study with group collaboration projects for exploration of the molecular basis of life.
Learning materials and learning projects are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. Simply make a link to the name of the lesson (lessons are independent pages in the main namespace) and start writing!
- Primary Structure - participants explore the relation between gene sequence and protein sequence.
- How to access the genome databases
Lessons
edit- Lesson 1:
- Chemical structure of DNA
- Phosphodiester bonds are formed 5' to 3'
- A pairs with T
- G pairs with C
- Chemical structure of RNA
- Understand the difference between DNA and RNA
- Uracil pairs with Adenine
- Hydroxy group on the 2' carbon
