Biology Unit 2.3: DNA Structure and Cell Division
My learning target: I will
 (5A)describe the stages of the cell cycle, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication and mitosis ,
and the importance of the cell cycle to the growth of organisms
 (5D) recognize that disruptions of the cell cycle lead to diseases such as cancer
 (6A) identify components of DNA, and describe how information for specifying the traits of an organism is
carried in the DNA
