Part 1: First we need to understand how DNA is organized inside the body.

Use the website: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/genome/dna.html

Figure out the correct order of the terms: gene, DNA, chromosome, genome, and chromatin

The broadest/largest term should go first to the most inclusive term. Please put the terms in order on scrap paper before finalizing in your notes. After approval from your instructor, your notes should look like below:

Term 1 Term 2 Term 3

Define 1 Define 2 Define 3

Part 2: Now we need to understand the purpose and function of DNA.

Use the website: http://docs.google.com/leaf?id=1HSv4_aiw-sN860wLLw8ApiqGx2CwvrfI1JJkyDFJlJCaIlK4l-z3zGdD5wtl&hl=en
