Early Earth and Evolution

This week you'll learn a little bit about the early state of the Earth and we will discuss evolution.
I thought this might help get you in the mood:

DNA song

DNA/RNA song

I hope you enjoy this, my son helped me write it!The Replication, transcription and translation song – to "The Adam’s Family" theme song

There’s adenine and thymine
Cytosine and guanine
A phosphate and a sugar
And that makes DNA
DNA(clap, clap) DNA( clap, clap) DNA,DNA, DNA (clap, clap)

When thymine goes a missin’
Uracil is there to listen
It sends a little message
Because it’s RNA
RNA (clap, clap) RNA (clap, clap) RNA, RNA, RNA (clap, clap)

Transcription’s then completed
the code gets translated
acids are created
Then proteins are made!
Hip hip hooray! (clap, clap) Hip hip hooray! (clap, clap)
proteins are made, proteins are made, proteins are made!!!!! (clap, clap)

THE STRUCTURE OF AN ACTUAL DNA STRAND IS SIMPLE AND BASIC, IT’S THE PATTERN OF THE CODE AND THE LENGTH OF THE CHAIN THAT MAKE DNA VALUABLE AND YOU UNIQUE!!!!

REMEMBER YOUR ORGANIC COMPOUNDS? THE SMALLEST FUNCTIONAL UNIT OF A NUCLEIC ACID IS A PHOSPHATE, A SUGAR AND A NITROGEN BASE EITHER ADENINE, THYMINE, CYTOSINE, GUANINE (URACIL REPLACES THYMINE IF IT IS A STRAND OF RNA INSTEAD OF DNA).

All classes: DNA and protein synthesis links

If you have been absent, you need to go to this site and watch the documentary.
