UNIT+3-+NUCLEIC+ACIDS


 * Unit 3: Nucleic Acids **


 * In this Unit, you will begin to understand the concept of DNA structure and how it differs from RNA structure, the three types of RNA, the steps of DNA Replication, Transcription and Translation, as well as the types of mutations, how mutations effect living organisms and other key facts. This site will teach you accurate information on all of the topics in Unit 3 and will provide you with additional websites, links, tutorials, review games, and animations to help you prepare for the Final Exam! **

**Objective:** ** On this website ﻿, you will be able to learn the key topics of Unit 3: Nucleic Acid﻿s. In this way, you will be able to learn about DNA Structure and Replication, Trascription and Translation, and mutations getting you ready for the Final Exam. **


 * Terms to Know: ﻿ Below is a link to all the terms you need to know for this unit and will help you for the Final Exam. **
