Honors Biology class reminder: weekend homework

Just a reminder that you all have a web quest to finish over the weekend.
The site you need to refer to and keep returning to if you get lost is genetics at Utah:
http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/

Those of you that need to re-take your protein synthesis test:
I will re-teach on Monday from 3:15 to 4
I will re-test on Tuesday from 3:30 to 4:30  this will give you some time to ask questions before you start.

To review on your own you should go to the links posted previously and be sure you can understand and describe in words what is happening here:                                                                                                      
REMEMBER :  Before any of this starts mRNA gets a chemical message that your body needs something (insulin for example). transcription occurs next: mRNA then enters the nucleus to read and write down (in mRNA letters) the information on  the gene that codes for the needed protein (insulin) . The part where the mRNA is read by the ribosome and amino acids are brought back to the ribosome is translation

We begin heredity and genetic disorders next week.
I'm putting a link to the word list here, but I don't want you to start them until Tuesday at the earliest because I want you to have a base knowledge before starting.
