Lab Introduction
The molecule that holds the secret of life. DNA stores information in cells of every living organism.
Instructions
In this exercise you will examine the molecular structure of DNA and study how it functions in a cell.
Inorder to complete the lab you will need to visit each link and carefully read all of the information contained in each link, take notes and make important observations, complete any mini-labs and answer any questions asked in each link. All of the information will need to be included in your lab report. Your answers to the assessment questions will placed at the end of the lab report.

Key Points To Remember
1 Unless you are asked for a list, ALL answers to the questions should be written in complete sentences, utilizing proper lesson vocabulary, grammar, and punctuation.
2 If you are asked to draw any images for an assignment, pictures from the internet will not be accepted as a substitute.
3 If you have to complete a virtual lab, all labs require a complete and properly formatted lab report. A link to a sample report can be found in the lesson folder; a second report outline is also located on the lab assignment page.
YOU WILL RECEIVE A SCORE REDUCTION IF ANY OF THE ABOVE COMPONENTS ARE REQUIRED AND YOU DO NOT MEET THOSE REQUIREMENTS
