Fall 2012 


I. Basic Information

A. Your name 
II. Old business - anything
What would you like discussed in class, on any subject that has already come up?
III. DNA Structure
(No need to respond to this section if you've done so in an earlier questionnaire and nothing's changed)

A. How far have you gotten in DNA Structure?
     

Consider how comfortable you are with the following topics (in the notes DNA Structure):

B. The tetranucleotide hypothesis and why if true it would make it impossible for DNA to be the genetic material

C. The Chargaff rules and how they were found

D. How the double slit experiment works

E. How the helical structure of DNA and internucleotide distances can be discerned from Franklin and Gosling's x-ray photograph

F. The biological significance of Watson and Crick's model and how they arrived at it (model building)
     

Choose up to three study questions that you would most like discussed in class:

SQ1  SQ2 SQ3 SQ4 SQ5 SQ6 SQ7  SQ8  SQ9 
SQ10 SQ11 SQ12 SQ13 
IV. DNA directionality and palindromes (1951)
Consider how comfortable you are with the following topics (as defined by the companion to Sanger and Tuppy):

A. The importance of thinking about DNA sequences in terms of 5'-to-3'

B. The nature of a DNA palindrome

C. The biological roles for palindromic sequences
     

Choose up to two study questions that you would most like discussed in class:

SQ14 SQ15 SQ16 SQ17 SQ18  SQ19 SQ20
V. Miscellaneous

Any other comments, questions, suggestions, or concerns you may have?
