Course
DNA (Advanced)
This course will tell you everything you need to know about the building blocks of all creatures - DNA - which contains the instructions for life. The incredible structure of DNA allows it to replicate and is the basis of nano-fabrication science.

D.N.A.
Welcome to this course on DeoxyriboNucleic Acid or, as more commonly known, DNA. First isolated by Friedrich Miescher in 1869, the simultaneous complexity and simplicity of DNA continues to amaze scientists today.

Why were Watson and Crick able to make their discoveries?
Francis Crick and James Watson made a profound discovery - identifying the double-helix structure of DNA. However, their breakthrough sits on the shoulders of the researchers that came before as well as those they worked with. Learn more here.

DNA Basics
This quiz will test your knowledge of DNA. Some questions are difficult. Some questions are less so. All questions are easy if you know the answers. This test will help you learn them.

DNA and Protein Synthesis
Ribonucleic acid is composed of ribose, phosphates and organic bases (adenine, uracil, cytosine and guanine). MRNA, TRNA and Rrna are three types of RNA.

Genes, The Genetic Code, DNA and Chromosomes
These flashcards are a gentle way to review what we have covered on this course. There are twenty-one key terms here. If you already know them, you should probably be cloning something right now.
Set of Flashcards for: 'Genes, The Genetic Code, DNA and Chromosomes' based on my Mindmap '8.1-8.2 Genes, The Genetic Code, DNA and Chromosomes' which is based on the AQA specification and also on the AQA Biology 2nd Edition AS and A level textbook
