replication
• Lecture problem – questions
– What happens as the cell gets warmer?

cell activities?
– What could happen if the cell got cooler again?
Summative Assessments
• HW/Exam question
– Explain how DNA replication occurs in bacteria
from beginning to end.
– Predict the possible responses a microbe would
have to increased levels of iron in its environment
(see Fig. 10.20 to start, but account for other
