What knowledge have you connected with past knowledge? #2
This class has been an invaluable experience as I have been taking this class concurrently with Genetics. By taking this class in congress with Genetics has given me a vast advantage in the knowledge of of DNA replication. The biochemistry connection to all the processes within DNA transcription and translation have been an immediate connection to the Genetics I am experiencing along with Biochemistry. Being able to connect the concepts of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic replication only expands the knowledge put forth by Genetics. The Biochemistry aspects of Translation and Transcription have further expanded on the concepts connected with Genetics. It takes it a step further by expanding on the specific proteins along the replications chains. IT shows that the G-C & A-T (and sometimes U) is just the beginning in a long process involving many proteins and enzymes that piece together and large picture of the overall DNA replications process.

I definitely agree. This class taken in conjunction with genetics makes both classes much easier. It almost seems as if genetics is a "review" for biochemistry every week.
ReplyDeleteDennis, you are so right that genetics is the review for Biochem. I feel like we are able to get such a better understanding by listening to Dr. P talk about the subject in more detail than we have with Genetics. It really has been a benefit taking the two classes together.
ReplyDeleteIt has been incredibly helpful to hear some of this stuff twice! I need all the help I can get! Hearing 2 perspectives together has really made them both easier to handle.
