COL Project

We are starting to work on the Characteristics of Life (COL) Project.
The first step is to come into class on Monday March 8th with your top three choices of organisms that you would like to study.
These should be organisms that are unusual AND that you know little about.

Here are two places to help you in your search:
Tree of Life Project
Encyclopedia of Life

Genetics Animations


I thought it might be helpful to have links to the animations we looked at in class that illustrate DNA Replication and Protein Synthesis, so here they are:

DNA Replication
Protein Synthesis

Also, if you have questions about these two topics, you can post them here and I'll respond.
