Parents/Guardian –
 I have reviewed my child’s activities
and homework for the week of
11/5/07 – 11/9/07.
 I understand that is important for
me to make sure that my child is

D. sugar and phosphate strands connected by nucleotide pairs
Explain.
Wednesday – Explain the three ways that RNA is different from DNA
Thursday - 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.
Friday - 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.
