VIDEO ASSIGNMENT
DUE: APRIL 1, 2015
DNA STRUCTURE and REPLICATION
1. ALL people must RECORD their voices in the video. You can use movie maker or another video
program. Speak CLEARLY and SLOWLY. Write what you want to say first and then reading from
your script- you will be required to turn in your script with the assignment.
2. You can use my PPT or other sources and the textbook to research the required info.
3. Include NAME (S) and PERIOD on the first slide.
4. Music should accompany the story. It can be humorous, silly or serious.
5. YOU MUST INCLUDE A REFERENCE SHEET/ BIBLIOGRAPHY!
6. Be sure that the timing of the story is synced with what you have to say.
7. Include the following information……
Bio-lography Experiments: (pgs. 338-333)
- Griffith experiment:
o what he wanted to find out, what he did, and results (conclusion)
- What is transformation
- What was the transforming factor?
-
Bacterial Viruses and bacteriophage
-
Hershey-Chase Experiment –
o what they wanted to find out, what they did and results (conclusion)
Watson, Crick, Franklin, Wilkins story with Chargaff- Complimentary base pairing
-
DNA Structure: (pg 342-348)
- Role of DNA (pg 342)
- Monomers of DNA/RNA and nucleotide structure
- deoxyribose, phosphate, nitrogen bases (Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine)
- pyrimidines and purines
- hydrogen bonds  # between each base pair, location and unique characteristic
- double helix shape
- genetic code  what is it and its importance
DNA Replication: (350-352)
- purpose
- helicase, SSB, and DNA polymerase function
- semi-conservative replication
- replication fork
- steps of replication
- replication in prokaryote and eukaryote how they are different.

Get in groups and divide the content up between group members. Individually, using the
internet, find pictures and explanations to your content area.
Think about how you want to organize it.
MAKE SURE YOU KEEP A BIBLIOGRAPHY!!!!!
DAY 2:
Get into your groups and construct your video!
