I have reviewed my child’s activities
and homework for the week of
11/30/09 – 12/4/09.
I understand that is important
for me to make sure that my
child is studying to be
prepared for the Quiz on
12/8/09 and has completed all
assignments this week.
I understand if my child needs to
retake a quiz that the original
quiz with corrected answers
that has been signed by me
must be brought to class at
the time of the quiz retake
and quiz retakes occur on
Tuesday afterschool.

Friday - While visiting the local science institute in his city, Damian visits an exhibit that displays
great scientists of the twentieth century and their discoveries. For the year 1953, Damian reads about
two British scientists named James Watson and Francis Crick. Which discovery was made by these
scientists?
A. double helix shape of DNA molecules
B. molecular proof for biological evolution
C. process for creating a large, nuclear explosion
D. process for creating the first clone
Explain.
Use the following terms: E. coli, metabolic pathway, proteins, environment, operator, repressor,
genes, promoter, RNA polymerase.
An operon is a cluster of genes in ___________________ . These genes make
___________________ that work together in one __________________________________. An
operon is able to respond to changes in the _________________________ . The ______________
segment of DNA that acts as a switch for transcription, turning operon on or off. When the operon is
on, the ______________________________ binds to the ________________________ and
transcribes the DNA. When the operon is off, a _____________________blocks transcription.
